While they may look like ordinary rocks to you, stromatolites are considered ‘living fossils’, they are in fact microbial reefs formed by cyanobacteria. The Hamelin Pool is one of the few home to these important world heritage worthy stromatolites, each telling a story about the evolution of planet Earth.

Most beaches in the world are full of sand, but this interesting beach in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area is full with millions and millions shells! These shells come from the abundance of cockle in Shark Bay, making this beach unique and rare. In the past, these shells were quarried and cut into blocks to construct a number of cool buildings in Denham. The water around the beach is known to be more salty than usual, so you may be able to float on the water just like you could at the Dead Sea.

Just a short 30 minutes drive from Denham lies Monkey Mia, best known for the bottlenose dolphins that come ashore regularly to interact with humans. A possible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presents for you to get close to the dolphins and feed them from your hand.

Eagle Bluff is a high cliff overlooking the ocean and the surrounding area just over 15 minutes away from Denham. A boardwalk is installed along the coast for visitors to admire the amazing view while taking a leisurely walk. If you are lucky, you may even spot some dugongs coming up to the shore to feed during the summers. The best time to visit is during sunset, as you will be able to enjoy the sunset from an amazing vantage point.
