Contrary to the usual sandy beaches, the coast of Shell Beach, stretching over 62 miles (100 kilometers), is covered with tiny cockle shells. The natural hypersaline waters at Shell Beach allow amateur swimmers to float easily, making it a perfect getaway spot for families with kids. If you are interested to see more of the fascinating shells, be sure to drop by the shell block quarry near Hamelin Pool Nature Reserve. Denham is the main gateway to Shell Beach, just 28 miles (45 kilometers) away. With a place as enchanting as Shell Beach, it is impossible not to fall head over heels in love with it.
