Cable Beach
So beautiful, you'll never want to leave.
Cable Beach is renowned as one of the most stunning beaches in the world, with twenty-two kilometres of pristine white sands and all the space you could desire fringing the fresh clear, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
Washed clean every day by tides that can reach over nine metres, Cable Beach provides the ideal safe environment for swimming and relaxation. Caution however is required between November and March when stingers may be present.
Cable Beach takes its name from the telegraph cable that was laid between Broome and Java in 1889 and today it provides the perfect location to enjoy the magnificent Broome sunsets. There are a variety of watersport activities available. For a really unique experience you can join the sunset camel rides that operate daily along the beach.
