Why Broome, Western Australia is the perfect coastal getaway for every kind of traveller

Broome’s natural beauty is so stunning that you’d want a snapshot of every corner. Its crown jewel is Cable Beach (traditional name Walmanyjun), a 22-kilometre stretch of white sand set against the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Here, time slows down as you bask under the sun, cocktail in hand, or stroll along the shore as the waves kiss your feet. 

For something straight out of a dream, saddle up for a camel ride at sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky illuminates with fiery hues of orange and pink, turning your unconventional evening commute into an Instagram masterpiece. 

Time your visit between now and October for a rare chance to witness the famous Staircase to the Moon at Roebuck Bay (traditional name Yawuru Nagulagun). This natural phenomenon happens when the rising full moon reflects off the mudflats, creating a shimmering stairway leading to the sky. And when night falls, Broome’s unpolluted skies offer some of the best stargazing opportunities in Australia. 

If you like your relaxation with a side of adventure, Broome has plenty to keep your inner explorer happy. Hop on a Broome Trike Tour and zoom through the rugged landscapes, take a scenic flight over the breathtaking Kimberley region, or explore Gantheaume Point (traditional name Minyirr) where dinosaur footprints have been fossilised in the reef for over 125 million years. 

For a unique cultural experience, visit Willie Creek Pearl Farm to learn about Broome’s fascinating pearling history and maybe even pick up a lustrous souvenir. If you're visiting between August and September, don’t miss the Shinju Matsuri Festival, a celebration of Broome’s rich pearl-diving heritage with food, music, and art.

Forget long layovers – getting to Broome is now easier and more affordable than ever. Jetstar is the only airline offering a direct flight from Singapore to Broome, cutting travel time into the Kimberley region by half. It operates twice weekly, from April 1 to October 25, 2025, with one-way fares starting from just $146*. P.S.
