The Shark Bay area of Western Australia has an amazing selection of attractions to interest and excite tourists and visitors. Located in the mid-west region of Western Australia the Shark Bay area encompasses more than 2000kms of unspoilt coastline to explore and enjoy.
Shark Bay was named by an English Explorer, William Dampier, on his second voyage to Australia in 1699. It appears he believed that the area had an abundance of sharks, although he probably mistook the dolphins for sharks, as this area is home to the world famous Monkey Mia dolphins.
In 1991 the Shark Bay World Heritage area was created and was the only World Heritage area in Western Australia at the time and today is still one of only a handful of places in the world that satisfy all four criteria for heritage listing - one of the most remarkable places on earth.
Denham is the only town in the area and is completely surrounded by the World Heritage listed area providing a unique enclave for the townsite. Facilities in the town include Primary and High School, medical services, supermarkets, hardware, car hire, scenic flight hire, restaurants and cafes, Bowling Club, Golf Course, Tourist accommodation and a Discovery Centre.
The town has beautiful, safe pristine beaches and cruises to the nearby islands are available for charter for fishing, diving, snorkeling or just for a relaxing day and then a short distance away by vehicle are the amazing wild dolphins of Monkey Mia, the Hamelin Pool Stromatolites, Shell Beach, the Zuytdorp Cliffs, Steep Point and South passage which is home to world class fishing.
The Shark Bay area boasts fantastic weather almost year round with the best time to visit being March to October when the weather in the South of the state can be cold and wet, the Shark Bay area basks in sunshine and 20-30 degree days. It is the first destination North of Perth where you can be almost guaranteed of good weather during Perth's winter and only a comfortable one day drive from Perth through farming country and some of the most beautiful wildflowers in Australia or if you would rather fly a two and a half hour flight from Perth to Denham.
