Denham is a town located near the listed Shark Bay World Heritage area. Part of Western Australia's Coral Coast, named in honour of Captain Henry Mangles Denham of the Royal Navy, who charted Shark Bay in 1858. The 150 km stretch of road linking the highway with Denham is known as World Heritage Drive.
This stunning location has beautiful beaches, restaurants, golf course and jetty. The town has a relatively small population, but during tourist season it becomes a hive of activity. Many visit nearby Monkey Mia to see the famous dolphins and natural attractions such as the Hamelin Pool stromatolites, Steep Point, Shell Beach, Dirk Hartog Island and Francoise Peron National Park. The Ocean Park Aquarium will amuse the kids (and big kids too!) or why not do a scenic quad bike tour?
Denham is a haven for diving, boating, snorkelling, water-sports, windsurfing, beach swimming and fishing (be aware of sanctuary zones!). There is so much to see and do. The seaside town offers a variety of accommodation options suitable for everyone - families, couples, singles, backpackers and grey nomads!
