Dongara

Dongara and Port Denison are located 360kms north of Perth. First surveyed in 1852, Dongara was originally established to service the needs of the surrounding community of pioneer settlers. Not long after the jetty at Port Denison was constructed to ship the produce and cargo from and to the area.

Today, both Dongara & Port Denison are well known for their crayfishing, fishing, wildflowers and a welcome stopover for travellers.

The twin tourist towns also have many other attractions for visitors of all age groups. From the young at heart to young in years you wont be disappointed with a stay in Dongara.

Places to stay

Accommodation is affordable and the variety ranges from budget to a luxury four and a half star beach holiday park.

The main street, Moreton Terrace, is lined with Moreton Bay Fig trees which were planted back in 1906. They are now a feature of the town along with the sandy beaches.Grannys beach is ideal for families as it is well protected by the breakwater. Approximately 100metres further along the beach is ideal for surfing and wind-surfing.

If fishing is your go then you will be well accommodated along the beaches from Sandy Bay in the south to Nine Mile beach (4WD access)on the north side.

Both the groin and the town jetty are great locations to try your hand at fishing as well as the beaches.

If you time your trip right to Dongara & Port Denison( July to October ), you will experience a wildflower display that will fill your photo album with many wonderful colour photos.!
