# Relax on Cable BeachRelaxing on Cable Beach is one of our favourite things to do in Broome. It’s also free, which is always a win. Not to mention this is one of the most famous beaches in Australia. Bring a good book, an esky filled with cold drinks, and some lunch, and chill out for the day.
# Horizontal FallsExperiencing Horizontal Falls is one of the bucket-list tours for those wanting to enjoy the best of the Kimberley region. The Falls are an extraordinary natural phenomenon on the coast where tidal flows cause waterfalls on the rise and fall of each tide. There are a few choices of tours on offer to experience this for yourself.

These are the most popular small group trips to discover the best of the Kimberleys – all you have to do is turn up and enjoy!
# Visit Dinosaur Footprints at Gantheaume PointBefore visiting Broome, I had no idea that dinosaur footprints that date back over 120 million years can be seen here. These footprints are only visible at certain low tides, but they are so much fun to search for – and some of them are massive!
Dinosaur prints can be reached by foot at Gantheaume Point when tides are below 2.16m. Other prints are scattered around Roebuck Bay and Reddell Beach along the coast.
