Broome, also known by its Aboriginal (Yawuru people) name ‘Rubibi’ is a coastal pearling and tourist town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Described as one of the most extraordinary places in the world to visit, Broome is a multicultural melting pot and gateway to one of the world’s great wilderness areas. This colourful pearling capital beckons travellers from around Australia and the world.
In the 1880s, Broome was a pearling town, attracting workers from China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Europe. These influences are alive in Broome today, alongside a strong First Nations culture, giving the town an ambience unlike anywhere else. It’s a stunning place where red dirt meets the aqua ocean, where you can visit a working pearl farm, a laid-back brewery or take a slow camel ride along the beach.

Chinatown overlooking Roebuck Bay in the heart of old Broome is a fascinating place to learn some of Broome’s history. Contrasting the red rocks of Gantheaume Point and the dusky sands of heritage-listed Roebuck Bay marine park is the 22-kilometre white sandy stretch of Cable Beach home to resorts and restaurants and the famous sunset camel ride.
Chinatown became a multicultural hub after discovering the world's largest pearl shell species, the Pinctada Maxima. You can still see the distinctive corrugated iron buildings from the pearling crew camps. Today’s Chinatown is a mix of old and new with trendy al fresco cafes and restaurants and dazzling pearl showrooms.
At Gantheaume Point you can take an adventure to a secluded beach and step in the footprints of giants. During low tide, 120-million-year-old perfectly preserved dinosaur tracks are revealed in the beach’s red rocks. There are prints of several dinosaur species who roamed the area during the Cretaceous period.
Roebuck Bay is the jumping-off point for cruises to local pearl farms. Join a guided tour and learn all about the industry that built Broome. Your tour will start in the hatchery then head out on the water to see the shells growing in Willie Creek. Along the way, you’ll discover how the Australian Southern Sea Cultured Pearl is produced and before leaving, visit the jewellery showroom to shop for a stunning souvenir from Australia’s pearl capital.
Once a sleepy outback pearling centre, now a beach resort town, Broome is famous for its unique character, natural beauty, and relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by the warm, tropical waters of the Indian Ocean the town is easy to explore with many sights and activities just minutes away, including:
A visit to Broome wouldn’t be complete without taking a leisurely camel ride into a Cable Beach sunset. Late afternoon, you’ll join a camel caravan to experience Broome’s most iconic activity. You’ll want to bring your camera to photograph one of Broome’s famous tangerine sunsets.
The best time to visit Broome is during the dry season between May and October. The weather is warm and sunny with little to no rainfall, making it perfect for outdoor activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the town and surrounding areas.
Broome’s wet season runs from November to April, which is characterised by high temperatures, high humidity, and heavy rainfall. The wet season is not recommended for tourists as some roads and attractions close due to flooding and the humidity can be uncomfortable.
The peak season in Broome is between June and August, when the weather is mild and sunny. If you prefer to avoid crowds, consider visiting in May or September, when the weather is still pleasant but the crowds are smaller.
