    ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
    Cable Beach was stunning especially at sunset. We went for the morning for a massage at Cable Resort and ended up spending the whole day here. We walked the beach, had a lovely lunch and drink in Zanders and watched the sights go by then had massages in the resort and then watched sunset and the camels on the beach. Such a lovely chilled day. Plenty of parking and a huge park to sit in.

    Great place to watch the sunsets
    Enjoy the sunsets, enjoy watching the camels go home, and watch the 4WDs exiting the beach. Don't rush after sunset, especially on the slightly cloudy evenings. The longer you wait, the more amazing it gets.

    Beautiful beach with great facilities
    Fantastic beach. It's well set up with a patrolled area where you can safely swim and it's easy to hire umbrellas and sunshades. If you want to get away from the crowds, the beach is almost deserted if you just walk a couple of minutes. There are facilities right above the beach including toilets, showers and a fabulous restaurant / takeaway (Zanders). The beach is tidal and there's quite a difference between high tide and low tide.

    Magical Sunsets
    The tidal differences are enormous in Broome so picking your time to visit is important. Low tide allows 4WD car access on the beach and a chance to walk amongst the rocks looking for dinosaur prints . This is also where you can have a camel ride or watch the camels parading across the beach. Sitting on the grass or walking on the sand at sunset is absolutely magical. It's very hot and you might want to hire an umbrella if staying for a while. Several bars open to the public face the beach too.

    White sand and turquoise water
    A beautiful beach of white sand is a must visit when in Broome. Sit or drive on the beach at low tide and watch the beautiful sunset and the glorious colours once the sun goes down. Cafes are not far from the beach to enjoy great food and drinks.

    Beautiful Beach!
    This beach is absolutely stunning a definite must if you are in Broome. We hired loungers and an umbrella for 4 hours which cost around $30. The guys take care of carrying everything to the area you want and then put the umbrella up along with the loungers. Very friendly and very helpful. We had lunch at the nearby cafe (sorry can’t remember the name of it but the pizza was delicious). Surf life are also on the beach.

    Best beach in the world !
    Cable beach is the best beach in the world. As the landing in from the edge of the water to going in the ocean, there are no rocks or seaweeds when I was there. It is therefore the perfect beach for long distance swimming during the dry season (I was there July/ August). There's a 3-4 kms stretch on the secluded section which is perfect for walking ! The only downside is at North of the rocks, there is a lot of 4wd, so stay south of the rocks. Also at the southern end, gantheaume pt, there's also a lot of 4wd, so should be avoided. However, the 3-4 kms stretch where no vehicles allowed, as mentioned above, is secluded with awesome high dunes and perfect for long walks, solitude and swimming short and long distance during the months of July August September. It doesn't get better than this anywhere else in the world.

One of the most spectacular places to visit. The beach is divinely long and wife and clean and worth walking on. Sunset is special here but she is sun rise and all night and all day. Magnificent.

I live in Florida, so I really did not think it was as spectacular as the other reviews. There is a large parking lot, and not many people were around. There is a beautiful park area with lots of picnic benches and grass to run around. You climb down some steep stairs to actually get on the beach. There was a restaurant, but it was closed, it must be the off season.

I went to Cable Beach to see what all the fuss was about. Well, it didn't let me down. a vast, magnificent beach where many people were observing the sun sinking over the water. The colors of the sunset nearly hypnotized you into a feeling of complete serenity when there was little cloud cover.
