Occupying pride of place in the Kimberly Region, Broome is not only a beach hub for the masses. Here are some of the must-visit highlights every traveller should glimpse on a trip to the area.
Riddell Beach
As one of Broome’s lesser-known beaches, Riddell Beach is perfect for those who are in search of a tranquil seaside location lined with dramatic rock formations. Ideal for swimming and quiet strolls, this beach is as charming as it is hard to locate.
Staircase to the Moon
Those who visit Broome between March and October can witness this natural phenomenon off the coast of Roebuck Bay when the rising moon exposes the mudflats at low tide, which resembles a magical staircase that appears to lead right up to the moon itself. It is such a unique sight that it is well worth planning your trip to Broome around this event.
Broome Historical Museum
Offering visitors a glimpse into the city’s rich cultural heritage, the illustrious Broome Historical Museum may not be as large as most Australian museums but showcase an array of relics, photos and other memorabilia from the past. Those who are interested in the region’s pearling history will also find artefacts belonging to this era.
Buddha Sanctuary
Surrounded by a picturesque garden, the 3.5-metre-tall crystal sculpture of Lord Buddha in a seated pose offers Broome residents and visitors a peaceful corner in which to meditate, practice yoga, and relax. As a venue built specifically for wellness and healing, the sanctuary provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown Broome.
Cable Beach
Home to Oaks Cable Beach Resort and countless other Cable Beach hotels, Broome’s most popular beach is a must-experience highlight that’s ideal for water sports lovers.
