RAC Cable Beach Holiday Park

As a former pearling town, multicultural Broome (five minutes’ drive) showcases its legacy at Pearl Luggers Broome, where you can see restored dive boats and archive footage of pearl divers at work. Catch more local heritage at the Broome Historical Museum as you tour the old sailmakers’ shed and 19th-century customs house. If you’re looking for souvenirs of your stay, browse the town’s pearl showrooms or potter around the craft stalls at lively Broome Courthouse Markets (open Thursday evening, Saturday and Sunday). The town is also known for its galleries, where you can pick up indigenous art and local landscapes. To get the kids acquainted with local wildlife, make for Malcolm Douglas Wilderness Park (15 minutes), where you’ll encounter saltwater crocodiles, dingoes and kangaroos. Looking to explore further afield? Book a guided day trip into the gigantic Kimberley Wilderness to experience the red rock of the desert and swim underneath dramatic waterfalls.
