Cable Beach Holiday Hotel Accommodation Broome
BROOME - Western Australia
Cable Beach near the centre of Broome is becoming a tourist hot spot, with direct flights not only from Perth but now from major east coast cities including Sydney and Melbourne.
Broome has a rich pearling past, with Oriental pearl divers mixing with the Kimberley Aborigines to produce a diverse culture evident to this day.
There are tropical palms everywhere in this hot outpost 2 1/2 hours flight north of Perth.
Famous Cable Beach is THE place to be, with its beautiful tropical water, long beach and even camel trains silhouetted against magnificent sunsets as big as the sky.

To this day, the architecture in Broome shows its rich oriental pearling past, with a Chinatown and a predominant building style that includes corrugated steel sheeting and latticework.
The Sun Picture Gardens in the Broome CBD is the oldest outdoor cinema in the world. Where else can you hear locals cheer during a latest release movie, as a jet roars in just over the right hand side of the screen to land at the airport near the cinema?
Accommodation near Broome is getting more expensive because of the lack of available land, due to Native Title rights for the local Aborigines.
The most opulent place to stay is the famous Cable Beach Club, owned quirkily enough by the Hawaiian Group. At the Cable Beach Club there are two resort pools and bungalows in the corrugated iron style that replicates the cottage accommodation oriental pearlers used to live in. The Sunset Bar and Cafe is great for those sunset cocktails as you unwind and realise how wonderful life can be.

For something different, try a half day fishing trip near Broome where you're bound to catch a big fish such as the delicious dhufish. If you ask nicely back at the Cable Beach Club restaurant, they may even cook it fresh for you.
And try the Mangrove Hotel accommodation near the centre of Broome for the outstanding Broome phenomenon
known as Staircase to the Moon. It's an optical illusion as the moon
shines on the piled layers of the mudflats at low tide, appearing to
produce steps right up to the moon in the night sky.
It's a joyful pub
atmosphere on a grassy bank as you join the locals for a drink. This
Broome town beach phenomenon occurs from April to October.
