Being one of only two beaches in the world made up of just shells and not sand, Shell Beach makes for a rather unique getaway. Easily accessible from Denham or Perth, the beach stretches for 100 kilometres (62.14 miles) and offers plenty of beachside fun. You can plan a day-long hike here along the beach, or if you are more into adventure activities, you can spend all morning snorkelling as well. The beach makes for great evening walks as well, and if you enjoy fishing, then there are plenty of charters you can make use of to rent out a boat and plan fishing trips around the coast. There are some exquisite local restaurants that you can check out as well. But before you pack up your bags and head out, do read through our carefully curated list of the best vacation rentals near Shell Beach, Australia.
