Beaches around the world are preferred by most visitors who look forward to a relaxed stay during their holidays. If you are planning a trip to Australia this time, one of the must visit locations is the Cable Beach in Broome. This beach is named after the telegraph cable that was laid between Java and Broome. The pristine white beach goes far as to around twenty-two kilometres providing ample space to its visitors to relax and unwind. The turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean kissing the shores make a picturesque sight.
A cliff created with red ochres that act as a backdrop to this beach adds more beauty to the setting. The things you can witness at Cable Beach are not the usual that you would experience at a regular beach. One of the most interesting things that you can witness while at the Cable Beach is the dinosaur footprints that dates back to hundreds of millions of years. Walk up to the Gantheaume Point to take a look at the footprints of the giants that roamed the earth millions of years ago; keep in mind that these footprints are visible only during low tide. Also if you go to the Gantheaume Point during the season, this would be the perfect spot to see the migrating whales and dolphins.
Another spectacular thing that you could witness if you are at the Cable beach during March to October is the staircase to the moon. This a breathtakingly beautiful optical illusion created by nature that you should see. Apart from the usual sunbathing and swimming activities, you could go on a camel ride on the beach during sunrise and sunset. Out of the many hotels Broome has for its guests, the Oaks Broome is one of the places where you could arrange for a camel ride with ease. Get to know the Aboriginal culture and their lifestyle from the people living in the area. Walk into the many stores that are available and make sure you purchase a souvenir or two to take home.
