Denmark's closest and most popular beach.
The Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club is situated at Ocean Beach. Ocean Beach is popular with surfers because of it's great waves. Surfers seen daily.

Safe for families and children due to the rock reef close to shore. Patrolled in summer holidays. Check with visitors centre or shire do be sure.
- Elephant Cove (Unpatrolled)
Larger waves than Greens Pool though the shallow sloping beach is great for getting your feet wet.
