Cape Leveque - Broome

Cape Leveque is a beautiful hidden pocket of the Kimberley, located on the tip of the Dampier Peninsula. A drive from Broome to Cape Leveque includes some 200 kilometres of unsealed road characterised by corrugations and sandy sections, so a four wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended for travel and the road is not suitable for caravans. You will need to allow three and a half hours for the drive from Broome to Cape Leveque and during the summer wet season the road will sometimes be closed to traffic.

Please respect the land, culture and privacy of the local Aboriginal people. Drive slowly when entering communities and do not wander uninvited into residential areas. No permit is required to drive to Cape Leveque, though entry fees do apply if not staying overnight.

There is excellent swimming, fishing and snorkelling. Fly/drive tours, scenic flights, four wheel drive day tours and overnight tours are available from Broome. Aboriginal bushtucker, tag-a-long and mud-crabbing tours available. Charter boats offer full and half day fishing, and scenic tours to Sunday Island.

Accommodation includes safari tents, beach cabins and shelters, units and camping facilities. Barbecues are available for use.

Room service self catering meals are available through a “Bush Butler� service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is a seasonal restaurant open for lunch and dinner most days from April to October. A small general store stocks emergency supplies, ice, bait and ice creams. Bring your own alcohol. Fuel is not available at Cape Leveque though can be purchased from the communities 18 kilometres away during office hours.
