Useless Loop - Denham

Direct Phone Number : (08) 9483 1111
Return to Denham

Walking along the pristine beach at Denham you will be amazed by the extraordinary view of a white salt mountain at Useless Loop some 250 kilometres away. The salt mine produces the purest grade of salt in the world. Whilst not open to the public, those with a four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles can get closer to see this unusual sight.

Whilst in Denham take a close look at the unusual material used to build St Andrews Church and Old Pearlers Restaurant. Comprising of tiny shells from nearby Shell Beach, these buildings were built by the town’s original settlers. Stroll along the crisp clean sand or swim in the calm clear waters of the town’s beach. Alternatively try your luck at fishing from the jetty or take a boat out for the larger catch.

A trip to the region would not be complete without a visit the world famous Monkey Mia where dolphins come right into the shore to interact with humans, creating a truly unforgettable experience. Useless Loop and Denham are situated eight hours drive north of Perth.
