Denham WA – A Surfer’s Favourite
You’ll find the hub of Denham’s surfing, body boarding, kite surfing and stand-up paddle boarding action down at South Beach. It’s a picture-postcard setting for a fun family day on the beach.
From the jetties or beaches, you can have a go at hooking your own dinner. The waters are renowned for their abundance of tailor, snapper, whiting, dhufish and when in season, rock lobster. Had no luck at catching your own fish? You can always call into the fish shop on the wharf. Seaz Denison Seafood sell fresh fish and lobster.

Experience the Many Walking Trails in Dongara WA
Call into the Visitors Centre to collect a Thungarra Trails guide, their most popular walking trails. Follow one of the trails to the Fisherman’s Lookout Obelisk. Here you’ll take in the panorama of the harbour and its rock lobster fishing fleet. History buffs can pick up a little maritime history here too. Check out the plaques depicting local shipwrecks and continuing on to the Shipwreck Walk Trail at the Port Denison Foreshore.
Along Ocean Drive, walk past 2D metal art ANZAC memorial soldiers. These soldiers were commissioned by the Shire of Irwin and the Dongara Returned and Services League (RSL).
The grassed foreshore is a great spot for a waterside picnic or barbecue. It has shady seating areas, free WiFi and a children’s playground.
Accommodation options in the town offer beach resorts with ocean and marina views, holiday units, cabins and caravan parks.
