Cape Leveque
A beautiful hidden pocket of the Kimberley.
Cape Leveque is located on the tip of the Dampier Peninsula. A drive from Broome to Cape Leveque includes some 200 kilometres of unsealed road characterised by corrugations and sandy sections.
Cape Leveque is hidden out of the way, and its hard to get there, but once you arrive and see the pristine white beaches and the golden red cliffs, you'll understand why you are one of the lucky people, and you'll be glad you made the trip.
A four wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended for travel and the road is not suitable for caravans. You will need to allow three and a half hours for the drive from Broome to Cape Leveque and during the summer wet season the road will sometimes be closed to traffic.
Please respect the land, culture and privacy of the local Aboriginal people. Drive slowly when entering communities and do not wander uninvited into residential areas. No permit is required to drive to Cape Leveque, though entry fees do apply if not staying overnight.
There is excellent swimming, fishing and snorkelling. Fly/drive tours, scenic flights, four wheel drive day tours and overnight tours are available from Broome. Aboriginal bushtucker, tag-a-long and mud-crabbing tours available. Charter boats offer full and half day fishing, and scenic tours to Sunday Island.
