About Ocean Beach
Ocean Beach is a long, exposed sandy beach located at the mouth of Wilson Inlet, approximately 5 kilometres south of the town of Denmark in Western Australia's Great Southern region. Backed by dunes and the Nullaki Peninsula, it is known for its wide shoreline, consistent surf breaks, and views across the Southern Ocean. The beach is patrolled in summer and forms a central recreational area for swimming, surfing and fishing near Denmark.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a wide, open sandy beach stretching for several kilometres facing the Southern Ocean, with dunes, the Wilson Inlet mouth and bar, and the Nullaki Peninsula as a backdrop. The area includes a sealed lookout above the beach with panoramic ocean and inlet views, a large car park, and direct sand access. The surf is typically strong with consistent breaks, while the inlet side offers calmer water when the bar is closed. Facilities are basic and focused on beach recreation.
