Frequently Asked Questions

At Entrance Point, about ten minutes' drive from the town and eight minutes from Cable Beach. Shuttles and taxis make the connection : nothing is within walking distance of the wharf.
Twenty-two kilometres of pale sand facing a warm sea of shifting gradients, the region's most famous beach. Its sunsets are among the most watched in Australia.
Yes. The trains of camels walking the water's edge at dusk on Cable Beach have become the emblem of Broome. That said, simply sitting in the sand to watch the sun go down does the job perfectly well.
At Gantheaume Point, when the sea retreats : the red sandstone platforms reveal sauropod and theropod tracks estimated at some 130 million years old. The visit depends entirely on the tide.
Ask ashore about the favourable hours before arranging the trip. At high tide the platforms are underwater and the journey is wasted; the headland and its lighthouse still reward the walk.
Because the town was built on mother of pearl. Divers from Asia and the Pacific, shipowners and traders created a mixed world still visible in the Chinatown quarter. Several pearl farms nearby open their doors to explain the trade.
The low facades and pearl dealers' shops of the small historic quarter, plus restaurants blending Asian influences with Australian produce, a direct legacy of that mixed history.
Yes, in part. A light aircraft flight reveals the broken coastline, gorges and plateaus, while four wheel drive outings explore the red tracks nearby. Even without a long excursion, the vegetation and the light give a faithful preview of this immense northwest.
The dry season, during the austral winter, offers the most reliable skies. The wet season brings heat and spectacular storms, with real risk to excursions.
A hat, water and sunscreen in every season under this tropical climate. Distances are short but shade is scarce, in town as on the beach.
