About this footpath

Digby Drive is a short, easy paved footpath on Rottnest Island, ideal for a quick stroll between locations. At just 40 metres, it's more a connector than a destination walk, but useful for getting around the island on foot without tackling longer trails.

Highlights

  • Paved surface suitable for all mobility levels
  • Quick 5-minute walk
  • Convenient for island exploration
  • Easy gradient, no steep sections

What to expect

Flat paved surface underfoot with minimal gradient. The short distance makes it accessible for families and those with limited mobility. Expect little shade; Rottnest's open terrain offers limited tree coverage, so sun exposure is likely. Well-maintained pavement throughout.

Good to know

  • Firm/surfaced — more accessible going

Carry water even on short walks—Rottnest's exposure and strong sun make dehydration a real risk. Wear sunscreen and a hat. Best visited in cooler months (April–September) to avoid peak summer heat. The island can be windy; dress in layers.
