Broome
130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints revealed at low tide on a beach where camels walk at sunset.
Camels cross Cable Beach in silhouette as the wet sand catches the late light. At Gantheaume Point, Early Cretaceous dinosaur tracks appear only when the tide and access conditions expose them.
Broome sits on Western Australia's Kimberley coast, shaped by pearling, red pindan earth and a sharply divided wet and dry season. Cable Beach runs for roughly 22 kilometres, while Gantheaume Point preserves Early Cretaceous dinosaur tracks exposed only at suitable tides. Chinatown reflects Aboriginal, Japanese, Malay, Chinese and European roles in the pearling industry, and the Staircase to the Moon appears on selected dates when moonrise and low tide align.
Couple
Combine a booked sunset beach experience with a tide-timed Gantheaume Point visit and a selected Staircase to the Moon date.
Family
Pearling history, marked dinosaur-track access and long beach walks give families options; local warnings govern any swim.
Friends
