An interesting and unexpected discovery...

On an isolated beach just 3 kms south of Denham township, you will find a shrine to the thong of the footwear kind. Visitors to the beach have donated their thongs to decorate the shack, sort of like the "love lock bridge" Pont Neuf in Paris! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is one way to identify you are in Australia☀️ #thongshack #iconic

A must visit and Instagram hotspot to visit when in Denham. There's currently a sign to the shack but if you get lost, ask a local.

Stroll along the beach, and of course, add a thong/flip-flop to the collection and don't forget to write a note about your time in Shark Bay.
