The surrounding area is spectacular and varied, featuring arid desert, gorges, sandy beaches, escarpments, rainforests, waterfalls, open plains, river valleys and cave systems.  Cable Beach is the town’s most famous landmark, offering 22 kilometres of pristine white sandy beach. Off the beaches, there are shallow lagoons that harbour colourful coral, abundant marine life and shipwrecks.

Broome offers markets, museums, art galleries, cafés, restaurants and a wide variety of retail outlets. Regular festivals are interspersed with major annual events, including horse racing and visiting opera and symphony companies.

The climate is tropical, having wet and dry seasons, and experiencing high humidity in ‘the wet’.
