There are two packers specialists in the area but neither is in the heart of town. There is also a hotel-motel, several cottages and villages, holiday villages, guest houses, bed and breakfast establishments and five caravan parks. The vast number and choice of types of accommodation offered is a true indication of the town s popularity as a top tourist destination. The scenery is magnificent, ranging from the rugged coastline, the tranquil Denmark River, inlet vies, to peaceful walk trails into the bush in the nearby hills. Close by, the petrified forest is a ghostly reminder of the tall timber country this region once was.
Fishing is excellent with a large variety caught from the beach, rocks, in the inlet or from a boat.
Care should be taken when fishing from the rocks, for the area is subject to king waves that rise from the quietest of oceans and have claimed many a life in the area. Denmark forms part of the Great Southern wine producing area and visitors are welcome at most to sample their wares and maybe buy a bottle or two of their fine offerings. There is excellent surf at nearby Ocean Beach and surfboards can be hired from the surf shop. Horse riding is popular with visitors and there are three riding schools in town who conduct trail rides into the nearby forest country. A visit to the Pentland Alpaca Stud is worthwhile for there are a host of other animals to see and many things to do.
