Broome

Once the pearling capital of the world, Broome is a cosmopolitan beach town located at the base of the pristine Dampier Peninsula, over 2,000km north of Perth. This is the traditional country of the Yawuru people and relics from the past can be seen scattered in and around the town – from dinosaur footprints embedded into the rocks, to pearling memorabilia and graveyards such as the Japanese (pearler’s) cemetery. The town sits on a peninsula, with the white sands and aquamarine waters of Cable Beach on one side (the perfect spot to watch the sun sink into the sea) and the red pindan cliffs and mangroves of Roebuck Bay on the other (the spot to watch the famous Staircase to the Moon phenomena). Whether you’re enjoying a sunrise walk from Cable Beach to Gantheaume Point; relaxing on the deck of Matsos micro-brewery; joining a tour of a local pearl farm; or just soaking up the sun poolside, one thing’s for sure … you’ll enjoy slipping into what locals call ‘Broometime’.
