Gateway to a UNESCO World Heritage wilderness on Western Australia's coast.

Location
Denham, Australia
Shark Bay Airport (IATA: MJK, ICAO: YSHK) is a small regional airport serving Denham, the westernmost town in Australia, located in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia. It provides essential air access to one of Australia's most significant natural areas, the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, famous for its stromatolites, dugongs, and the dolphins of Monkey Mia. The airport handles light regional traffic and charter flights, supporting tourism to the area's beaches, marine life encounters, and wilderness landscapes. Its remote location means it relies primarily on regional carriers to connect passengers to larger hubs such as Perth.

Getting to & from
