With alternative vibes and a country ambience those seeking true tranquility and a peaceful forest lifestyle base themselves in Denmark. One of the prettiest towns in south Western Australia, Denmark is set on the Denmark River. Nearby lies the Indian Ocean. 

There are several lookout spots on the coast that offer splendid ocean views. Conspicuous Cliff is one of these - and the only one with car access. Down the way lies William Bay which has colossal granite slabs resembling giant hills that were tossed into the sea. Greens Pool is another cool place to check out. 

If you are seeking something out of the ordinary check out Pentland Alpaca Stud. This is an animal farm with animals from the world over including native kangaroos and emus, in addition to American Bison.

There is a backpacker hostel in town so see the Denmark Visitor Centre for information and bookings.
