The 22-long stretch of glorious, soft white sand at Cable Beach is lapped by the crystalline, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, making it the perfect place for a swim. Set just an eight-minute drive from Broome, which can be reached with direct flights from Perth, Melbourne and Sydney all year round, the beach and accompanying town provide spectacular bright red sunsets, gorgeous nature trails along the coast, and a long list of watersports (try your hand at kayaking, surfing, and more). The shore is known for being relatively quiet even in the peak season (May to October). Cable Beach lies within the lush Minyirr Park, home to the oldest culture in the world, the Rubibi people. Learn about their incredible song cycles, bush medicines, and the Dreamtime stories connected to this place at local museums and through guided tours and interactive experiences.
