B…… is for Broome in Western Australia
For West Australians, Broome is our winter getaway. It is the place we head to escape the winter cold. Many people flock to Bali but for me Broome is the place to go! It’s all about the beach!
The beach in Broome is hard to beat! Cable Beach is constantly being named as one of the best beaches in Australia and it’s easy to see why…..
Broome’s tides can vary by up to nine metres. Early in the morning when the tide is out, vast expanses of white sand are exposed….a perfect early morning walk.
The birds love it too as the low tide exposes water holes and breakfast nibbles.
Later in the day, the tide comes in and makes the beach that little bit smaller but still perfect!
Can you see yourself catching a few rays here?
Tired of lying on the beach the beach…..then you can always take a camel ride!
But the best time to head to the beach is for sunset drinks…
Cable Beach Club has a great bar perfectly positioned to watch the sunset
or you may prefer to either sit on the grass or take your car to the beach to get even closer…
But wherever you are, Broome’s sunset is there for you to enjoy!
Have you been to Broome…would you like to go?

Nice going Jenny, Broome is a great place
Thanks! We love our time in Broome!
This makes me want to go back to Broome, one of my favourite places in WA! I love your photos of Cable Beach and the colour of the water.
It’s very easy for Broome to be favourite isn’t it Bonny! I love the evenings sitting on the beach drinking champagne and watching the sunset!
Jenny. I would love to go to Broome and even though I’m not a beach person that one does look enticing! I have ridden on the Australian camel train…the things you do for your kids! Great B post!
I’m not really a beach person either Corinne but there is so much to do in Broome that I don’t need to lie on the beach for ever! Riding the camels at sunset is the best time to do it!
Wow Broome looks like the place to go in winter! That beach looks absolutely gorgeous! And those camel rides, oh my! I rode a camel in Israel and would love to again!
Broome makes winter bearable for us Jess! It’s such a great escape. You’ll have to come and visit and ride the camels as the sunsets!
What a gorgeous location Broome looks like! Nope, never been there and honestly never heard of it before reading this post but that’s the beauty of this challenge, you learn about new places worth visiting that you never even contemplated before.
The pictures you have included here are great, very appealing and certainly would attract me to that location.
It’s interesting that you’ve never heard of Broome Chris. Our tourist commission is not doing their job!! It’s a great place not just for the beach and the millions of things there are to do here but it is also the stepping off point for the fabulous drive along the Gibb River Road and into the Kimberleys, one of the most amazing places in Australia
we haven’t been to Broome. We spent almost a month on the east coast and we found some of the places very touristy. We for sure would love to head to Broome, but I guess is not going to happen in the next five years. Australia is sooooo far away 🙁
It’s a shame you didn’t head west when you were in Australia Shere. As they say ‘West is best’! Australia is a big country and you can’t see everything…maybe next time!
beautiful pics and so inviting. Kind of interesting to see camel riding
I suppose it is unusual to see camels on the beach though they seem quite at home here.There are quite a few wild camels roaming around wide open spaces of Australia.
What! Camels on a beach!!! I never heard of such a thing. I thought it was odd when I saw iguanas and monkeys in CR.
Looks beautiful.
Yep…we’ve got it all in Western Australia Ann!! It’s a great place to escape to in Winter.
Wow! We love beaches, and Broome looks phenomenal! We have yet to touch down in Australia but, when we do, we have one more Must See for our list now. And for our Must Do – Camels on the beach? What fun! Thanks for sharing.
It’s all waiting for you Rob! Broome is a great places to start for winter holiday on the Kimberleys.
Wow, that looks gorgeous. The camels were a surprise! Promising myself to return to Australia some day….
I hope you come west when you return to Australia Anabel. Broome is just one of the many fabulous places we have for you to see!
Wow, what stunning pictures! I’ve heard so much about Bali I think I’m a little over it but Broome looks amazing! Trust an Aussie to know the best winter escapes in the area 🙂
Thanks Calli. Broome’s one of the best escapes…From here you can keep going up the Gibb River Road and into the Northern Territory for a really amazing trip.
Wow, the beaches in Broome are stunning. While I have been to Australia several times, and am sure I will be back again, I don’t know that I will ever make it to this lovely beach. The East coast is just so close. (I am in New Zealand)
I think you’ll be missing the best part of Australia Rhonda if you miss WA! Broome is the gateway to the Kimberleys and one of the most amazing landscapes in Australia . I hope you change your mind…there’s even direct flights to Perth from Auckland!
Love love love Broome, and your photos do it justice. Oh to be on a camel at sunset with the thought of a lovely Matso’s ginger beer or a cocktail awating me at the Cable Beach Bar 🙂
That sounds good Jo! I’m really missed our annual trip there last year! Maybe we’ll be back next year!
I am still kicking myself for not going here while we lived in Perth – what a silly girl. One day, I aim to make it back and take Vlad on a camel ride 🙂
I didn’t realise you had lived in Perth SJ. All the more reason to come and visit and head to Broome as well!
I’m from India and I have only seen camels in the desert, walking over sand dunes!!! It is quite something to look at it in a beach!
I’ve ridden camels in Jaisalmer Aarthi and it is definitely very different to this. Sunset is the best time to take the camel rides here..a magical time of the day!
