Broome sits at the northern edge of Western Australia's Kimberley region, where the red pindan cliffs of the coast meet the Indian Ocean. Cable Beach, the town's iconic 22-kilometre stretch of tidal sand, is best known for camel trains silhouetted at sunset, with vivid orange skies reflected on the wet sand during dry-season evenings. Broome's pearling history, dating to the 1880s, is evident in its Chinatown heritage precinct and the Japanese pearl divers' cemetery.
