Question 1

Is Ocean Beach a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Ocean Beach is a low-key coastal suburb on Western Australia’s south coast near Denmark, centred on a long sandy surf beach backed by dunes and coastal heath. The area mixes older timber beach shacks and holiday homes with some newer single-storey dwellings and attracts families, retirees and people seeking a relaxed seaside lifestyle. Days here tend to revolve around surfing, beach walks, fishing and birdwatching rather than shopping, and local services are limited so residents usually head into Denmark for cafes, shops and schools.

Ocean Beach is home to 1,014 people, with a median age of 50 and a median household income of $1,369 a week, roughly $71,188 a year.

Among families, couples are dominant. Couple families without children make up 50.7% and couple families with children 40.4%, so together they account for 91.1% of families. One-parent families represent 8.9% of the family mix.

Homes in Ocean Beach are predominantly owner-occupied: 81.5% are owned either outright (48.9%) or with a mortgage (32.6%), while 18.5% of dwellings are rented.
