Our Town
There's plenty to entertain long or short-term visitors including beachcombing, fishing, pearling industry, unique history and natural wonders unlike anywhere else in the world.
Cable Beach is widely regarded as one of the world's best beaches with over 22km of pristine white sand and clear tropical water, providing swimming all year round. Broome has a well deserved reputation for its fishing and there are plenty of fantastic places to catch yourself a meal. Dolphins and dugongs can be often seen in the waters around Broome, and June to October witness the humpback whale migration along the coast.
Take a walk through the fascinating history of Broome's pearling industry and visit the memorials around town, one of Broome's active pearl farms and many pearl jewelery shops.
View one of Broome's natural wonders from unique coastal rock formations where clear 120,000 million-year-old dinosaur footprints can be seen along the shoreline. Visit the Bird Observatory to discover the fascinating story of the nearly half million birds that migrate to Broome annually, many from as far as the Arctic Circle. Get up close to Broome crocodiles at the Crocodile Park, home to a wide range of crocs from both Australia and around the world.
The town has a wide selection of accommodation options to suit any type of traveller.
