A holiday destination, Broome in Western Australia is a coastal town where its beauty proves why this town is so popular.

The beauty of this place is simply breathtaking and Cable Beach is proof of such a claim. The crystal clear blue waters and the white sand are the very typification of what an Australian beach should be. Given the town's gorgeous temperature, swimming is a real option - even in the middle of "winter".

Given the position of Broome, it enjoys warm winter days and cool nights and the summers are quite warm. But one of the best things about Broome is that the stars in the sky are much more visible. Winter is a great time of year to enjoy the evening, where the cooler temperatures provide a clearer sky.

If you are looking for other natural attractions, then Minyirr behind Cable Beach is another glorious spot. The beautiful sand dunes and walking trails provide an opportunity for visitors and locals to learn more about the local environment.

Another natural phenomenon is dinosaur footprints, which are available for all to see at low tide off Gantheaume Point. 130 million-year-old prints can be seen, including a Stegosaur, Sauropod, Wintonopus, Theropod, and a Megolosauropus Broomensis.

Broome, being a sister city of Taiji, Japan, is an annual celebration of the Asian influences that were brought over here by the Japanese in pursuit of pearls. The festival, known Shinju Matsuri or Broome's "Festival of the Pearl", includes opening and closing ceremonies, boat regattas and all the cuisines that Japan is famous for.

Primewest in Broome is a shopping centre with over 35 specialty stores in conjunction with major outlets such as Woolworths, Target and Dick Smith Electronics.

The median house prices in Broome show that properties are worth $645,000 and units have a value of $345,000, according to Domain.
