Cable Beach in Broome is proof that what you see in postcards stem from reality. Renowned for its pristine white sands, red ochre cliffs and crystal clear water, Cable Beach is a 22km stretch of natural beauty. Sharing its border with the Indian Ocean, the water is safe for swimming. Sunbathing and even camel riding at sunset are also popular options here.

This beach is not only beautiful, but it has a functional history as well. It was named because of the telegraph cable construction between Broome and Java, allowing for Northwest Australia's connectivity to the rest of the world. Lovers of marine life are in for a treat – the Gantheaume Point Lighthouse is an ideal spot to observe dolphins and migrating whales!
