Where can I buy fresh fish?
The Fish Factory is located in the industrial area at the back of town. 124 Dampier Road, Denham 6537. The retail store is open Monday – Saturday, subject to change.
Can I hire a car/4WD or boat?
There are two car hire operators in Denham:
Shark Bay Car Hire for general car hire, please note you are not permitted to take the vehicle off-road (which includes Francois Peron National Park)
Shark Bay Boat Hire
Shark Bay Boat Hire has a range of boats to be hired to be used in the open water of Shark Bay. A recreational skippers licence is required to hire the boat.
Can I access the Francois Peron National park with a 2WD?
Unfortunately no. You can access the Peron Heritage Precinct in a two-wheel drive, however the 7 km road in is unsealed and so caution should be taken. From there on it is high clearance four-drive only, as it is deep soft sand. For more information on four-wheel(4WD) driving in Shark Bay, please download this leaflet
Are the roads open?
It is always a good idea to check the conditions on Mainroads for the major highways to see what roads are open, closed, have hazards or are undergoing road works.
