The sun drops low over the Indian Ocean and casts Cable Beach into a long band of gold; a line of blue-blanketed camels steps onto the sand, patient and slow, taking riders toward that burning horizon. The walk is measured and rhythmic—hoof clicks on packed sand, a low sway that sets the pace for conversation or quiet watching as the sea pushes light across the shoreline.

Broome’s camels are part of a longer story: camels arrived in northern Australia in the late 19th century to haul supplies across arid interiors, and in Broome they became an enduring icon around pearling-era seaside life. Geologically, Cable Beach is a broad, gently sloping strand of siliciclastic sands backed by coastal dunes; tides are large and dramatic here, making low-tide rides the most expansive.
Locally, the sunset ride is social and accessible—operators often supply short orientation and carrots to hand to the animals after the ride. Expect friendly commentary about Broome’s pearling past, and keep an eye toward Gantheaume Point for fossilized footprints when tides and light align.
Practical details: the tour is one hour and runs along the beach at sunset; there’s a strict 90 kg weight limit and basic health restrictions (not recommended for those with spinal issues or pregnancy). Shoes that stay on in sand, sun protection, and a light layer for the coastal breeze are smart. Arrive early to find the vehicle access entrance north of the rocks by the Surf Club; operators typically handle mounting and lead lines, so no riding experience is needed. This is a low-effort, high-reward way to finish a day in Broome.

Camels were introduced to northern Australia in the late 1800s for transport; in Broome they became part of coastal life and later an iconic tourist experience near the pearling port.
