Rossiter Bay is located 6.4 kilometres east of Cape Le Grand. It forms part of the Cape Le Grand National Park. Rossiter Bay was named by John Eyre when his party, suffering from the rigours of crossing the Nullarbor, was relieved to find the ship Mississippi, captained by Rossiter, anchored in the bay in June 1841.
The massive rock outcrop made of granite known as Mississippi Hill at Lucky Bay, was named after the ship.
While in the area be sure to check out the bird sanctuary. It can be reached by taking an easy stroll from Rossiter Bay car park, allow 15 minutes.
Boats are best launched at Lucky Bay. Small boats can also be launched from Cape Le Grand Beach. Launching at Rossiter Bay is not recommended. These beaches are notoriously treacherous for vehicles and it is easy to become bogged in the most innocent looking wet or dry sand. Ask the ranger about surface conditions and tides.
