Search hotels in Dampier

I am biased I grew up in Dampier. There is no longer a big supermarket in Dampier so if you need supplies you will have to go to Karratha for them. I would recommend going to the visitors centre to check places of interest. Must go to Point Samson for fresh fish and chips. Cossack is a must see Sunday mornings if you like markets. Local artists have art must see. If you have a boat and love fishing there are plenty of islands to explore. I know first hand there are fantastic reefs to explore if you enjoy scuba diving. Hearses Cove is picturesque on high tide and on low tide great walk, be mindful though tides can be fast moving, Watch were you walk on low tides though stoner's have deadly spikes, and don't touch octopus with blue rings they can kill they are small but dangerous.

Dampier is a little backwater to the mining/gas town of Karratha. Easy to find and only a few kms distant, but a different world. It has a "loved by the locals" feel. Nothing is 5-star, but there is a strong sense of community and nature - in the old-style of Australian coastal hangouts.
