Sitting at the tip of a barely 15km long peninsula that juts out into the Indian Ocean is the historic township of Broome. Gazetted in 1883, Broome was named after then state Governor, Sir Frederick Napier Broome
At that time it was little more than a shanty town of sand hill camps and a small jumble of shacks housing businesses that serviced the pearl luggers and related industries.
125+ years on, Broome is well established as a much desired and unique travel destination. Our tropical climate, stunning beaches and coastline, remote location, relaxed & casual lifestyle combined with our eclectic cultural mix creates a small island feel.
Situated 2,389km (1,481 miles) North of Perth and 1,859km (1,152 miles) South West of Darwin, Broome has something to cater for everyone and every budget.
Broome is home to the world’s finest cultured pearls, the world’s oldest outdoor picture theatre, one of the world’s top 5 beaches and some of the most stunning coastline anywhere in the world.
It offers a vast array of sights, experiences and tours, World class Game & Sport fishing, Migrating humpback whales and sits as the southern gateway to the majestic Kimberley, one of the worlds last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas.
