Useless Loop

Useless Loop, a closed company town on the Heirisson Prong in Denham Sound, Western Australia, is renowned for its salt production. This remote location offers a unique glimpse into the operations of Shark Bay Salt Pty Ltd, which produces some of the purest salt in the world.

While Useless Loop itself is primarily a working town with limited amenities, visitors can experience the vast salt crystallization ponds through scenic flights. For a taste of life beyond the saltworks, nearby Denham offers attractions like St Andrews Church and Old Pearlers Restaurant, built from tiny shells from Shell Beach.

Shopping options are limited within Useless Loop, but Denham provides local markets and shops to explore. Due to its remote location and small population, Useless Loop offers limited nightlife. For a more vibrant scene, visitors can venture to nearby towns.
