When you think of Australian wildlife experiences your mind will no doubt naturally go to kangaroos, koala bears, wallabies and the like. However, if you make your way to a sheltered stretch of sand along Western Australia called Cable Beach you will be quite surprised by another wildlife sightseeing which will make you wonder if you have suddenly been transported to Egypt; for here during sunset you will have the chance of glimpsing camels walking along the shore!
Cable Beach is truly an enchanting place to visit when on your holidays Down Under and the best way to fully experience this idyllic stretch of shoreline would be to stay at a Cable Beach resort Broome has to offer. Right by the beach, Oaks Cable Beach Sanctuary is an ideal option worth considering.
Back to the camels! Yes camel rides at sunrise or sunset are amongst the many popular activities that one can enjoy here. It is a truly unique way to experience this coastal haven that is well known for its spectacular sunsets that paint the sky in hues of fiery crimson. But there is so much more to Cable Beach.
A 22 km stretch of white sand bordered by tranquil Indian Ocean waters offers the perfect backdrop for some laidback fun in the sun, sand and surf. If you are an early riser, begin your day at sunrise with an early morning yoga session on the beach. If on holiday and prefer sleeping in, no worries either, as this coastal getaway provides plenty to enjoy through the day. Spend time working on that tan, enjoy a lazy swim, build sand castles with the kids or have a nice long walk along the shore with that special someone.
Make sure you also head to Gantheaume Point which can be found at Cable Beach’s southern end; at low tide you can see a cast of dinosaur footprints here, visit the Gantheaume Point Lighthouse from where, depending on the season, you can spot dolphins and whales and also watch out for the daily “show” that is bound to take your breath away; sunsets are truly awe-inspiring. End the day sipping cocktails at Zanders or at the Sunset Bar enjoying laidback coastal living at its best.
