This is Penguin Island, a 5 minute ferry ride from the Western Australian mainland. You might even see people wading or swimming there along the sandbank that connects to the mainland but this is not recommended! There have been deaths as recently as 2010.
It is a lovely kayak or ferry over, though - and Shoalwater Bay is a fascinating area.
You might encounter sealions and dolphins.
To the left, tourists make their way down the boardwalk. Silver Gulls, Australian Pelicans and Caspian Terns are nesting on the island at this time, and soon the Bridled Terns will come and kick the Gulls off.
