Gantheaume Point - Broome

Located approximately six kilometres from the town of Broome, Gantheaume Point is a scenic area of red, craggy cliffs providing a stark contrast to the azure water below.

Dinosaur footprints over 120 million years old can be seen here when the tides are less than 1.5 metres. As the reef area is very fragile, care must be taken when exploring this area. A plaster cast of the tracks has been embedded at the top of the cliff for visitors who come to see the tracks at high tide and for those who don't want to go walking on the reef.

On the north side of this point is Anastasia's Pool, a small man made rock pool built by a former lighthouse keeper for his wife Anastasia who was crippled with arthritis.
