Broome is famous for its beautiful beaches of white sands and blue waters. Situated on a peninsula you are surrounded by water, almost to the extent you could think you're on an island! Broome is considered a laid back town and most people slip easily into the slower pace of this Kimberley township. It has a small but growing population of 15,000 residents and whilst it offers a lovely outback town experience it is complimented by sophisticated dining experiences, quality accommodation and award winning tours and attractions.

Broome can be split into two distinct areas - 'town' is known as Chinatown and is located on the Roebuck Bay side of the Peninsula. Most of the shops are located here including essential services such as post office, banks, medical facilities and churches. Moonlight Bay Suites offers the only self-contained accommodation right at the water's edge, overlooking the bay. On the other side of the peninsula is Cable Beach, about 7kms away. Here is the majority of accommodation resorts, but only limited shopping facilities. You will find attractions such as the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park and Cable Beach Camel Rides in this area.
In and around the town itself, there are many things to see and do to that will make your Broome holiday or tour of Western Australia (WA) a memorable experience;
