Broome Will Sweep You Off Your Feet
Wander into a dream
Our favourite escapes in Broome
Get off the beaten track to experience some of Australia’s most pristine and uncrowded beaches in Broome. Of its shorelines, Cable Beach is the most famous. This 22-kilometre-long stretch of golden sand is best seen from the back of a camel at sunset – ideal for creating your own postcard-perfect memories.
Brush the white sand off your feet and swap it for hiking boots when you head inland to explore to ancient Indigenous rock art in the Kimberley, and book onto a tour that helps you uncover more about the area’s traditional landowners and its culture. Join a guided tour to see the wonder of Horizontal Falls and don your swimmers for a paddle with nurse sharks at a marine viewing platform in Talbot Bay.
Back on dry land, quench your thirst with a local brew from Matso’s Brewery, one of Australia’s most remote breweries. Order a tasting paddle to try all drops on offer – and steel your tastebuds for a sip of the incredibly unique chilli beer.
If it’s art you seek, then the scene in Broome certainly won’t disappoint with galleries showing modern Indigenous works by local artists. Connect to country through the canvas at Black Stump Gallery or peruse locally-made jewellery and fashion from female Aboriginal artists on a visit to Nagula Jarndu Designs.
