Holiday experiences to book in Broome (WA)

Where the outback meets the ocean, Broome is home to ancient culture, the world-famous Cable Beach, the natural phenomenon of the Staircase to the Moon and the gateway to the Kimberley region – one of the world’s last true wilderness areas. Here you'll find wildlife, majestic canyons, freshwater swimming holes and outback stations. 

 

• What to do:
• With 22 kilometres of pristine white sand edged by the stunning turquoise water of the Indian Ocean, Broome’s Cable Beach attracts visitors from around Australia and the world. The water is warm and flat, with gentle, ankle-height waves the only disturbance to the expanse of horizon-hugging blue, and the dry season (May - October) is the best time of year to swim. The vast beach is synonymous with sunset camel rides, and watching the sun descend over the water is a must-do. 
• Cruising the Kimberley’s mottled red cliffs and standing beneath a splintering waterfall is something only the lucky few get to do. All the luxury cruise boats that tour the coastline depart from Broome, making it a popular place for the cruise set to relax pre and post trip). After pulling away from the town's proud white jetty, the boats pass thousands of islands before reaching ochre cliffs and lonely beaches. Passengers visit breathtaking rock art, spot giant boab trees and learn about the region’s amazing geology, returning with a new sense of calm mixed with wonder.
• Australia has a rich archaeological history and the world’s largest dinosaur footprints can be found on the north coast of Broome. At 1.7m long, these fossilised dinosaur footprints are 130 million years old and extend in patches for 80km along the coast.
• Where to eat: Zensai at Cable Beach Club is the place for a special night out. Enjoy views directly over the water and a truly magnificent west coast sunset. For a more casual café lunch with a home-made mango smoothie, go to the Wild Mango Café.
• Where to stay: Named after the local Indigenous word for the coastal area of Cable Beach, Bilingurr, The Billi Resort is located in the main hub of Cable Beach and is perfect for a private escape. The resort features beautiful gardens, raised timber walkways and tranquil surroundings, with a range of self-catering accommodation including 1 and 2 Bedroom Villas, Studio Rooms and ultra-luxurious Eco Tents.
