The Hamelin Pool stromatolites are part of the Earth's evolutionary history with the living microbes building these stromatolites being similar to those found in 3,500 million-year-old rocks which are the earliest record of life on earth.

Monkey Mia is the home of the famous dolphins and is only a 30 minute drive from Denham. Monkey Mia is world-renowned for the visiting dolphins which interact with humans.

Denham received its name from Captain Henry Mangles Denham who charted the bay in 1858 in the HMS Herald. Captain Denham left his mark in the cliff face at Eagle Bluff. A section of this rock was retrieved and relocated to the Pioneer Park in Denham.

Denham has clean, safe swimming beaches, a boat ramp, resort, hotel, caravan parks, self-contained villas, backpackers, restaurants and takeaway food outlets.
