beach in Western Australia, taken
from the Cable Beach Bar
Location Information:
Broome
is a pearling and tourist town in
the Kimberley region of Western
Australia, 2200 km north of Perth.
The year round population is
approximately 14,436, growing to
more than 45,000 per month during
the tourist season. Broome
International Airport provides
transport to several regional and
domestic towns and cities.
Cable
Beach is situated 7 km from town
along a good bitumen road. The beach
itself is 22.5 km long with
beautiful white sand washed clean
daily by tides that can reach over
nine metres. The water is crystal
clear turquoise, and the gentle
swells hardly manage to topple over
as they roll up onto the almost
perfectly flat beach. Caution,
however is required when swimming
from November through March as box
jellyfish are present during those
months. Four wheel drive vehicles
may be driven onto the beach from
the car park. This allows people to
explore the beach at low tide to a
much greater extent than would be
possible on foot. Sunset camel rides
operate daily along the beach.
Cable Beach is home to one of
Australia's most famous nudist
beaches. The clothes optional area
is to the north of the beach access
road from the car park and continues
to the mouth of Willie Creek, 17 km
away.
