Make like a crocodile hunter and head out to Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park!

Australia’s dazzling Cable Beach is known for its breathtaking sunsets, camel rides, white sands, and heavenly turquoise waters. Originally named for a communications cable that linked it to Java in 1889, this idyllic destination is great fun to explore by four-wheel drive.

One of the best things to do at Cable Beach is to head out to Roebuck Bay, where you can experience a magical phenomenon like no other. Every full moon, the high tidal waves at Roebuck Bay create a fantastic illusion: an image that resembles a staircase leading straight to the moon! Witness nature’s beauty from March till October. Be sure to partake in local food markets and music events as people from all over Australia flock together for this stunning event.

Here are some of the exciting views that this lovely paradise offers:

Divers Tavern: Beat the heat in Broome, WA, with a frosty beer at Divers Tavern! Just steps from Cable Beach, this popular hangout has three distinct venue offerings: a beach bar, a sports bar, and a delicious bistro. Come for refreshment or dinner– either way, you’ll find yourself grinning as the tavern’s cool vibes soothe your sun-soaked soul.

Gantheaume Point: Discover prehistoric Australia at Gantheaume Point! Here you can marvel at Gantheaume Point’s ancient tracks set against vibrant red rocks. If you want to catch some great photos for social media, we suggest heading over to the Point at either sunrise or sunset, when the rocks are illuminated by an ethereal sunny glow.

Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park: This wildlife marvel is located in the town of Broome. Visitors to Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park have a chance to come face to face with one of Australia’s most remarkable creatures—the crocodile. The park boasts an impressive alligator and crocodile variety, ranging from huge, intimidating saltwater gators to the more manageable freshwater croc. Plus, it’s one place where you won’t want to look away– watching these scaled swimmers gliding through their natural habitats while they soak up the sun is truly awe-inspiring.
