Review:
Cable Beach is a stunning 14-mile beach located along Australia's eastern Indian Ocean coastline near the city of Broome, originally named for telegraph cables connecting the city to nearby Java in 1889. Today, the beautiful white sand beach serves as a popular beach resort spot year-round, offering gentle waves during the region's dry season between May and October. Stunning ochre red cliffs and massive sand dunes surround the beachfront, providing dramatic scenery for vibrant ocean sunsets. The beach is best known around the world for its unique tourist camel rides, which traverse the beachfront daily at sunrise and sunset. A section of the beach's northern end is clothing-optional. Visitors can also swim, kayak, surf, and fish at the beach or relax at one of many nearby seaside resorts.
