    What an awesome area!! We loved Shark Bay and Denham. Very chilled place. Andrew likened it to the town in the TV show “Sea Change”.
    We’re loving the WA Coast. Stunning red cliffs with white shell or fine white sand beaches. Many Emu sightings.
    We visited the Ocean Park aquarium which had a really great open air facility with a huge variety of tropical fish local to Shark Bay Area. They also did daily shark feeding AND it was dog friendly. The dogs loved it!
    Cape Peron was pristine with stunning red cliffs above pure white beach looking out to the vivid blue Indian Ocean.
    Great 4WD drive track to get there as well.
    The park also has a 40 degree artesian hot tub which was really nice.
    We loved Old Pearler Restaurant, and Shark Bay Hotel (old pub) where we had a few sunset drinks.
    Andrew tried catching squid with no luck but it was fun. Dogs loved the beaches
    Great place to pass the time while we waited for a caravan part.    Read more
