Denham is set within the UNESCO World Heritage Area of Shark Bay on the western fringe of Australia. This small town, a gem on the country’s Coral Coast, is home to some spectacular outdoor attractions and makes a popular retreat despite its remote location. Some key activities include the beach of Monkey Mia, where bottlenose dolphins can be hand-fed on the water’s edge; the fascinating Hamelin Pool, which is full of microbial reefs known as stromatolites; and Shell Beach, which features salty waters and a shoreline composed not of sand, but millions of shells due to the large quantity of cockle in the area. Finally, evening trips out to Eagle Bluff - 15 kilometres from Denham - offer spectacular views as the sun sets over one of Australia’s westernmost towns.
