Thomson Bay, known in full as Thomson Bay Settlement and also known as The Settlement, is the largest settlement of Rottnest Island, Western Australia, situated on the island’s northeastern coast.

It’s home to most of Rottnest’s stores, restaurants and nearly all of the island’s population.

It is a 1 minute walk from the bay with the same name.
