Ocean Beach
in the Denmark Region of the Rainbow Coast
Denmark Accommodation

Ocean Beach is set between the Wilson Inlet and the Great Southern Ocean. Only a few kilometres outside Denmark along Ocean Beach Road, the look-out is well signposted with beach access shortly thereafter at the Surf Lifesaving Club.

The beach is a popular surfing spot with a lookout to watch the action. Walking along the beach to the east you will either find a sand-bar taking you to the Nullaki peninsula... or an open channel from the Wilson Inlet (right) where the dark waters pour into the ocean.

Ocean Beach is a must-visit while in Denmark, take a deep breath of the beautiful fresh air coming off the ocean.

Flocks of Pelicans can be seen fishing at the base of the inlet, from time to time.
