Broome Beach Sand Patterns

At low tide on both Gantheaume Point and Cable Beach there are millions of tiny sand balls arranged in different patterns, often in groups surrounding individual holes.

The sand artist: tiny, camouflaged crabs. Normally the crabs hid in their holes as I approached to take their photos but I managed to catch the specimen in the picture above.

Cable Beach Camel Photos, Broome

One of the highlights of a trip to Broome is watching the camel train take tourists along Cable Beach at sunset. I watched this spectacle both evenings with second day proving more scenic:

Ships of the desert beach. On a clearer day the scene would be even more beautiful.
