With long stretches of a white sand beach, seas of such clear blue purity, palm-fringed coast, sunset camel treks, parasailing and water sports, sundrenched resorts, and the air of an exotic and distant tropical eden, Cable Beach does conjure in one's mind a certainly desirable holiday destination. Particularly with the southern winter nearly upon us, it's time to travel to warmer tropical regions. And discover Broome as well. It's really one pearl of a town.
