This laid-back beach resort town is the perfect place to explore Australia’s natural wonders…
Formerly a pearling town, Broome offers stunning beachfront, sparkling Indian Ocean waters and easy access to all the wonders of the Kimberley Region.
Situated on Western Australia’s northern coast, the town is famous for its Cable Beach, a pristine 22km stretch of sand. While relaxing on the beach and listening to the waves is inviting, there’s plenty more to discover here.
History and geology enthusiasts can explore one of the world’s most fascinating collections of dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume, while wildlife fans can take to the water on a dolphin spotting cruise. Broome’s waters are home to the largest known population of rare snubfin dolphins. Discover Broome’s fascinating history on a pearl farm cruise or on a walking tour with a local Aboriginal guide. There’s also an excellent dining scene to be explored here, with plenty of local and international flavours on offer.
Whether you use Broome as a stylish base for your Western Australian adventure, or come here to walk in the steps of dinosaurs, marvel at pearls and sink your toes into the soft sand, you’re guaranteed amazing adventures. Broome is an excellent addition to an Australia multi-centre holiday or is perfect in its own right as the gateway to the Kimberleys and a beautiful beach destination.
