Retreats in Broome and the Dampier Peninsula, Western Australia, offer a unique and remote coastal experience. Discover the Dampier Peninsula, one of Australia's most remote, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful regions. Aboriginal people have cared for this land for tens of thousands of years, and visitors can join them on a cultural tour to learn about ancient traditions, foraging, and mud-crabbing. To reach the Dampier Peninsula, fly from Perth to Broome and then travel along the 200-kilometer Cape Leveque Road, which passes through pindan woodland. A four-wheel drive is necessary to access many of the region's main attractions. For a coastal camping experience, choose between the wilderness retreats of Gumbanan or Goombaragin. These retreats provide a true outback experience, with a dawn chorus of brightly colored native birds as nature's alarm clock.
Nature's Hideaway Middle Lagoon is a low-impact coastal camp that offers stunning views over two beautiful bays, surrounded by beaches and native bush. Goombaragin Eco Retreat features only two safari cabins overlooking the ocean and two camp sites, ensuring ultimate privacy and a serene getaway. The 3 km private sandy beach is perfect for swimming and exploration. For a scenic adventure, consider taking a helicopter flight with KAS Helicopters, the scenic and charter helicopter flight specialist in the West Kimberley region. The Dampier Peninsula is also a cruising and fishing paradise, with seagrass beds, mangroves, and the Horizontal Falls, where white-tipped tides surge through craggy rocks. Experience the Bardi people's culture in the Lombadina community of Thomas Bay or take part in snorkeling, kayaking, or whale-watching tours.
