Broome is a beautiful coastal resort town nestled at the foot of the Dampier Peninsula, where the desert meets the Indian Ocean, in an explosion of radiant beauty. Whether you’re here to explore the splendid coastline, shop for Broome’s revered pearls, or ride a camel on the beach at sunset, you’ll fall under the spell of this remote tropical paradise.
There’s no better way to begin a morning in Broome than by grabbing breakfast at the Bay Club. Here you can enjoy extraordinary views overlooking Roebuck Bay, while kicking back with eggs and coffee. Whatever you choose to do after is up to you. Broome has plenty of touristy things to see and do, but it’s also got beaches where you can while away the day guilt free.
If you’re keen to find out more about the area, head to the Broome Visitors Centre, or take a stroll to the Broome Historical Museum where you can learn about Broome’s fascinating past as the world’s largest pearling centre.
If you feel like being a beach bum, there’s no better place to be. Cable Beach’s white sands and crystal-clear waters are out of this world. It’s the perfect place to relax and spend a day staring out at the ceaseless blue as the ocean meets the horizon. Come sunset, visitors can also take a camel ride, which is an iconic Broome experience well worth forking out for.
If you fancy learning more about the Indigenous history and culture of the area, Minyirr Park offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the local Yawuru people. There are also three easy walking trails in the area that cross some stunning sections of pure wilderness. At the southern end of Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point is a really interesting place where at least nine species of dinosaur footprints have been identified, dating back 130 million years.
Broome’s tropical climate is perfect for some alfresco drinks and dining. And there’s no better place than Matso’s Broome Brewery. Here you can enjoy a whole range of beautifully crafted beers alongside superb food. We recommend trying the barramundi with one of the brewery’s special mango beers.
If you fancy heading a little further afield, head for Dampier Peninsula, an extraordinary place where turquoise water and red sand combine for truly effortless beauty. Following Cape Leveque Road northwards, you’ll find bushwalking tours run by indigenous communities, as well as secluded beaches, breathtaking landscapes and the famous Mother of Pearl Shell altar at Beagle Bay Church.
The best time to visit Broome is during the dry season from April to October. April marks the end of the wet season when the lush native greenery of the outback makes an appearance and adds to the beauty of the area.
