Denhams Beach is the most northerly in a string of three beaches in a large bay-like recess in the coastline. Surf and Wimbie beaches also occupy the embayment, separated by tall headlands and rock platforms.

Although set in suburbia, the surrounding bush butts up to the sand, giving the beach a sense of seclusion in the middle of this popular holiday area. With a wide expanse of golden sand, there is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy.

It is the first of the surfing beaches to the south of Batemans Bay, popular with beginners. The beach faces the east with waves averaging one metre and is not patrolled.

Denhams Beach is sheltered by a prominent rocky headland to the north and rocky outcrop to the south, which makes it a popular beach for families. The tranquil bay around to the left-hand side is a great spot for snorkelling. Keep an eye out for dolphin pods which frequent the area.

There is a carpark at the northern end of the beach which is accessed from Graydon Avenue. Cold water shower available. No toilets or change rooms.
