Denmark is often overlooked as a weekend getaway destination in Western Australia’s south west and unfairly so. Koalas, first class wineries, fantastic regional cuisine (including delicious chocolate treats and locally made cheese) and one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to.

Green’s Pool is hidden away in a remote spot on the southern coast, 18 kilometres from the centre of Denmark. Protected from the wild Southern Ocean by a rocky outcrop, the calm pool with crystal clear water and fine sandy beach is nothing short of perfect.

For another stunning beach destination in the region, try Albany’s Goode Beach.
