Broome at a glanceBroome combines Cable Beach sunsets, multicultural pearling history and landscapes shaped by large tides.
Cable Beach stretches for kilometres and is famous at sunset. Tides transform the width of the beach and must be checked before coastal outings.
Chinatown and the museum tell the story of pearling and Aboriginal, Asian and European communities. Gantheaume Point combines red rock and turquoise sea.
Broome is the threshold of the Kimberley, not a base from which to improvise vast distances. The dry season is easiest; heat, rain and cyclones affect the wet season.
