Cable Beach, Beach in Broome, Australia
Cable Beach extends for 22 kilometers along the Indian Ocean with white sand and clear waters near the town of Broome in Western Australia.
The beach received its name from the undersea telegraph cable connecting Broome to Java, which was installed in this location during 1889.
The adjacent Minyirr Park contains walking trails through the traditional lands of the Yawuru people, revealing connections to indigenous heritage.
Visitors should note swimming restrictions between November and April due to box jellyfish presence, with warning signs posted along the shoreline.
The northern section of Cable Beach permits four-wheel drive vehicles during low tide and includes a designated clothing-optional area extending toward Willie Creek.
