Denmark

You’ll find Greens Pool in William Bay National Park, just twenty minutes from Denmark. A hop, a skip and a jump down the short walking track and you’ll reach your reward: postcard-perfect views that are even prettier in three dimensions. Thanks to a shore-break of smooth boulders, this shallow-bottomed body of water is protected by the ocean’s normal current, creating a giant natural pool of water in hues of pastel peppermint. Join the locals and kick out a few morning laps across its top, or make do with a splash in the shallows and relax on the flat, sun-warmed rocks. Local tip: small multi-coloured coral communities have sprung up underwater around the base of the boulders; pack your snorkel for a close-up look.

A stone’s throw from Greens Pool, the peppermint-tinged waters at Elephant Rocks in Denmark juxta positioned with the giant boulders will give you another vibe entirely. Here, humongous rock formations resemble the world's largest land mammals; giving the coastal gem it’s name.
