More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Broome at first light and the highway drops away, leaving red pindan soil and scrub that seems to shift color as the sun climbs. The coach hums north along the Dampier Peninsula; salt spray and the wide horizon of the Indian Ocean punctuate long stretches of quiet country. Stops on this full‑day trip include Beagle Bay’s famous Shell Church, a chef‑prepared lunch at a working pearl farm (Cygnet Bay), and a guided visit to a Bardi Jawi community with a trochus hatchery — optional scenic flights return you over the Buccaneer Archipelago.
