In this paper, we study dense subsets of boundaries of CAT(0) groups. Suppose that a group $G$ acts geometrically on a CAT(0) space $X$ and suppose that there exists an element $g_0\in G$ such that (1) $Z_{g_0}$ is finite, (2) $X\setminus F_{g_0}$ is not connnected, and (3) each component of $X\setminus F_{g_0}$ is convex and not $g_0$-invariant, where $Z_{g_0}$ is the centralizer of $g_0$ and $F_{g_0}$ is the fixed-point set of $g_0$ in $X$ (that is, $Z_{g_0}=\{h\in G| g_0h=hg_0\}$ and $F_{g_0}=\{x\in X| g_0x=x\}$). Then we show that each orbit $G \alpha$ is dense in the boundary $\partial X$ (i.e.\ $\partial X$ is minimal) and the set $\{g^{\infty} | g\in G, o(g)=\infty\}$ is also dense in the boundary $\partial X$. We obtain an application for dense subsets on the boundary of a Coxeter system.
