Western Australia – Denham (Shark Bay)

Welcome to Denham — Australia’s most westerly town and a perfect slice of wind-soaked paradise in Shark Bay. Red earth, aqua flats, and a breeze that turns on like clockwork. You’re a long way from anywhere — and that’s exactly the point.

From October to April, the seabreeze rolls in from the south, steady and clean. The main foreshore is waist-deep for ages, making it ideal for beginners, cruisers, and anyone who loves glassy water and wide open room to play. Great launch access right in town, and a solid local crew floating around if you need a tip or two.

If you’re looking for that extra bit of butter, head just north to Nicholson Point — flat, reliable, and perfect for throwing tricks or just soaking in the view. Feeling adventurous? Dunes to Denham is a classic 20km downwinder starting at Eagle Bluff. Bring a mate and a pickup plan — it’s a ride you won’t forget.

The vibe in Denham is slow, salty, and full of good people. Pub meals hit harder after a session, sunsets feel earned, and you’ll probably stay longer than you planned. It’s not just a kite spot — it’s a lifestyle detour.
