Cape Leveque , the top attraction of the region, is a natural wonder known for its vibrant red cliffs and traditional Aboriginal heritage. For those who once thought of Cape Leveque as an inaccessible destination, we have good news! The  road from Broome up Dampier Peninsula is now fully sealed , so pack your camping gear and start planning a Dampier Peninsula road trip!

About Dampier Peninsula & Cape Leveque

Cape Leveque is the main attraction of the Dampier Peninsula. The cape is famous for its pristine coast and wilderness. The local Indigenous people call the peninsula  Ardi , meaning “northeast. ” It’s an area that carries rich traditional history and one that has been sparsely inhabited with small remote communities for centuries. 

The  beaches are unspoiled, trees full and natural, and wildlife is abundant . At one point, the peninsula was known as a far-off place with limited road access. Now, thanks to the newly sealed road, it’s an off-the-beaten-path destination for  nature and culture.

Where Is The Dampier Peninsula?

The Dampier Peninsula is located in northwest Australia along the coast of the Kimberley region in   Western Australia . It’s about  200 km north of Broome  and surrounded by the beautiful Indian Ocean. 

How To Get There

Thanks to recent improvements, the main road up the Dampier Peninsula from Broome to Cape Leveque is now  fully sealed . There are still plenty of  off-shoots that require a high clearance 4WD vehicle,  but the main route is now accessible by any vehicle. 

To get to Cape Leveque, follow Broome Road for 20 km before hitting the turn-off for Broome-Cape Leveque Road. The sealed all-weather road goes all the way to Cape Leveque and  takes about 2.5 hours.  Keep in mind that if you want to explore more of the unique landscape, you’ll need 4WD to reach places like Pender Bay and Middle Lagoon.

As far as road conditions go, we found the ride to be pretty smooth, but it still required careful driving. There are no overtaking lanes, and weather can be a big factor. Check out the Road Safety Commission’s   Guide to a Safe Drive  before embarking on your trip. 

Be prepared for weather extremes in the Kimberley, particularly after the 2023 floods; delays can happen, so always have fresh water, food, and spare tires on hand. Stay safe!

Main Attractions & Things To Do In Dampier Peninsula

Cape leveque.

On the northern tip of the Dampier Peninsula,  Cape Leveque is the main draw  for most visitors making this extraordinary trip. It’s no surprise that the gorgeous  untouched beaches  and  astonishing red cliffs  make a visit here a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The contrast between the vibrant cliffs, white sandy beach, and turquoise water is a feast for the eyes. 

Swimming and snorkelling  are popular things to do in Cape Leveque. The cape is also home to a lighthouse and is a good spot for whale watching (during the season). Cape Leveque  fishing is world-class,  and locals invite you to explore the region and uncover its rich Aboriginal history.

Kooljaman At Cape Leveque

Kooljaman is a remote wilderness camp owned by local Indigenous Bardi Jawi communities. It’s famed for its stunning scenery and  eco-conscious beachfront campground . The award-winning place has accolades in Indigenous Tourism, Eco-Tourism, Unique Accommodation and Cultural Tourism. You can easily spend the day combing the beach before having dinner at  Raugi’s Restaurant  and catching the glorious  sunset over the bay . 

Unfortunately, this place is closed now due to deteriorating infrastructure and the inability to cover redevelopment costs. Work on the Kooljaman Access Road, which was initially set to finish in September 2023, is on hold. The resort is closed, and the duration of closure remains uncertain. For the latest info on open communities and campgrounds, check with the Broome Visitor Centre  here .

Brian’s Tagalong Tour 

No trip to Kooljaman is complete without joining a cultural tour with unforgettable Bardi tour guide, Brian Lee. Brian’s Tagalong Tours of Hunter Creek sheds insight into traditional fishing and crabbing and culminates in a bush tucker lunch under the trees, then enjoy the scenic tours to Sunday Island. It’s the absolute best way to experience the Kimberley region from a local’s perspective.

Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm

Located on the eastern side of the Dampier Peninsula,  Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm  is an  icon of Australia’s pearling industry . The bay’s tidal creeks and sandy banks are prime oyster territory along with the coast’s many points. Rocky shores line the bay, and the views of nearby islands are spectacular. 

The farm operates several boat tours, allowing visitors to explore the beauty of the Dampier Peninsula north of Broome and see Cable Beach light up in a vibrant display of colours from the water. We recommend their  Giant Whirlpool Tidal Boat tour  to experience the massive tides or journey to the unique waterfall reef. You can also dine at the Cygnet Bay Restaurant and have a taste of pearl meat or even harvest one in this  Behind-the-Scenes Tour & Live Harvest !

Ardyaloon – One Arm Point

Immerse yourself in local Aboriginal communities in the remote town of Ardyaloon or One Arm Point. From here, you can watch the  giant tides  sweep over the Kimberley islands and explore a   Trochus Shells hatchery . The beaches are completely unspoiled, and the fishing is outstanding. The road is 4WD only, but the vibrant community is well worth a visit. 

The Ardyaloon Hatchery Road (One Arm Point) construction and sealing were mostly finished in May 2023, but the final seal comes later this year. If you’re planning a 2024 visit, ensure the road’s fully open before heading to One Arm Point. Check for updates  here .

The Aboriginal Community of Lombadina welcomes visitors to explore their traditions and amazing locations on Thomas Bay. Soak in the beauty of white sand beaches and try your luck at spotting humpback whales in the distance. The Community hosts immersive   tours  to try your hand at  mud crabbing, kayaking, or traditional fishing .

As of May 2023, the Lombadina community is open seven days a week, including weekends from 9 am to 2 pm. If you plan to book a tour, remember to do it at least four days in advance to support the local communities.

Follow an unsealed road north of Beagle Bay, and you’ll arrive at Pender Bay, a  hotspot for humpback whales and remote camping.  Explore the 4WD tracks and incredible beaches surrounding this rugged stretch of coast. Stay at Whale Song Campground, and be sure to stop into   Kimberley Wild Gubinge  to taste a superfood plum unique to Australia.

Middle Lagoon

On the same 4WD track from Beagle Bay to Pender Bay, you’ll find Middle Lagoon, another stop for the  picturesque wilderness . Spend the day relaxing on the beach or dropping a line in the water. Camping and limited accommodation options are available at the low-impact coastal camp   Nature’s Hideaway .

James Price Point 

A stunning headland on the Kimberley coast, James Price Point is a  local favourite  for swimming and wild camping. Besides its astounding beauty, the area also has large cultural significance for Indigenous Communities. Walk the beaches, observe the wildlife, and keep your eyes peeled for  dinosaur footprints  in the intertidal zones!

James Price Point offers one of the most picturesque FREE wild campgrounds in all of Australia. Camping spots are scattered all along the point and are sprawled between the ocean and the stark red cliffs. You must be completely self-sufficient to camp here, as there are no facilities and no trees/bushes, so a portable loo is a must!

Stop into the Community of Beagle Bay to visit the home of the Nyul Nyul people. The Community’s famous  Sacred Heart Church  features a beautiful building with an  altar made from shells . It’s entirely handmade and adorned with white mother-of-pearl shells.

Where To Stay: Cape Leveque Camping And Dampier Peninsula Accommodation

Waking up to sweeping views of the red cliffs and sparkling ocean is what the Dampier Peninsula is all about. Keep in mind that  Cape Leveque accommodation is limited,  so be sure to plan ahead.

Gumbanan Wilderness Retreat

Gumbanan Wilderness Retreat is located at the eastern tip of the peninsula near One Arm Point and is a great  wilderness bush camp . We stayed here for a couple of nights during our visit and enjoyed the amazing ocean views and rugged landscape. Gumbanan offers basic campsites with toilet/shower facilities. Unfortunately, this gem is closed for the season from August 2023 until further notice.

Spending the night at a pearl farm is a pretty cool way to experience the coastal Kimberley region.  Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm  offers visitors 39 remote self-sufficient accommodations ranging from  campsites, caravan sites, to safari tents, it  is Australia’s oldest fully operational public pearl farm! Each site comes with power and water, and there is a fully functional amenities block with hot and cold water. It features a swimming pool, various tours, and the Cygnet Bay Bistro serving dishes inspired by seasonal produce and has unique offerings like pearl meat. For the full experience, splash out on a  heritage-listed Pealer’s shack.  You’ll get a feel for how divers lived in the early days of Australia’s pearling industry.

Wild Camping At James Price Point 

James Price Point, or Waldamany, is a stunning  free campsite  located about 1 hour north of Broome. Picture a white sandy beach surrounded by rocky red cliffs where 4WD fully self-contained vehicles can spend the night above the sea. The site is beautiful but can get  very windy,  so prepare for rugged, wild camping. Also, note that there is a  3-day limit  on camping and no facilities. 

FAQs About Visiting The Dampier Peninsula 

How long should i spend in the dampier peninsula .

If you just want to see Cape Leveque, you can plan for a day trip from Broome with about 5 hours of driving time. That said, we definitely recommend  spending a few days  exploring the peninsula and its pristine wilderness. You can easily stay for weeks on end enjoying amazing Dampier Peninsula camping and laid-back living.

How Long Does It Take To Drive From Broome To Cape Leveque?

The drive from Broome to Cape Leveque along the Broome-Cape Leveque Road takes  2.5 hours each way.  Be aware that  ongoing road constructions are happening along this route in 2023 and 2024 , so it might take longer. We recommend checking for  road closures  and finding alternate routes before your visit.

Is It Safe To Swim At Cape Leveque?

Yes , swimming at Cape Leveque and its surrounding beaches is safe and pleasant. However, these are known crocodile habitats, so it’s important to get the most up-to-date information from Kooljaman if you intend to swim in the area.

Is The Road To Cape Leveque Sealed?

Yes . As of spring 2021, the road from Broome to Cape Leveque is sealed, so you can cruise from Broome up to Cygnet Bay even in a 2WD.

Can You Take A Caravan To Cape Leveque?

Thanks to the newly sealed Broome-Cape Leveque Road,  caravans can now explore the Dampier Peninsula.  However, some parts of the peninsula still require 4WD and are not suitable for caravans.

I tried to visit Dampier peninsular in may 2022 but found that after driving the 200 km road that local people had blocked the road to Cape Leveque and Beagle Bay so we saw nothing but shrubs along the way We had visited before and knew of its beauty

Exploring Cape Leveque, Dampier Peninsula — WA

When it comes to beautiful and remote coastlines, Western Australia has plenty to offer. But for those wanting to get away from the crowds, the stunning Cape Leveque on the Dampier Peninsula is a tranquil paradise filled with beautiful beaches, unique campsites and welcoming communities just waiting to be explored.

And best yet, you can take your camper trailer with you. The Broome-Cape Leveque Road has now been fully sealed, making travel easier and more enjoyable than ever. Please note, not all side roads have been sealed, so it’s best to ensure both you and your camper are suited to rough travel.

As always when travelling in remote parts of Australia, ensure you have the right safety gear, including recovery equipment , UHF radio , sat phone , spare parts suitable for your setup (such as wheel bearings), and a well-planned route with fuel refills taken into account.

It is also advised to have planned your accommodation in advance.

So, buckle up and join us on this adventure from Broome to Ardyaloon with plenty of diversions along the way.

Things to know

Grading: AWD (with caution)

Trip time: 2–3 days

Distance: 312km, Broome to Ardyaloon with detours

Longest distance without fuel: 127km, Broome to Beagle Bay

Best time of year: May–October

Permits and fees: The Broome-Cape Leveque Road is a public road, and therefore no permits are required. Visitors intending on leaving this main road and travelling across Aboriginal land to reach overnight destinations, such as Middle Lagoon, do not require a permit as long as they already have an accommodation booking and proceed directly to their destination.

There are some Aboriginal communities on the peninsula, such as Beagle Bay, Kooljaman and Lombinda, that welcome day visitors, and a small fee is generally required.

Warning: While the Broome-Cape Leveque Road has now been sealed (the final 90km finished in 2020), some of the side roads are still gravel and often quite corrugated and rough, particularly after heavy rain. Check road conditions with the Broome Visitor Centre for up-to-date information before departing.

Takeaway alcohol cannot be purchased anywhere on the Damper Peninsula. Most locations will allow alcohol to be carried through but check the situation before leaving Broome.

For those bringing their furry companions along for the ride, please note that dogs/pets are generally not permitted on the peninsula. There are some camps and communities that do allow dogs, which would require you to travel directly to the location without stopping and letting your dog outside on the way.

High clearance 4x4 vehicles and offroad camper are still needed if you plan to access side roads off the Broome-Cape Leveque Road.

Handy navigation

• The Kimberley Map
• Hema HX-2+ Navigator

Head north out of Broome and in 10km there will be a left turn onto the now fully sealed Broome-Cape Leveque Road. Follow the road for approximately 111km and take the turn-off to Burrguk (Banana Wells) which is located 14km from the main road.

Banana Well Getaway is an eco-friendly retreat and campground, with options between cabins, houses or camper trailer-friendly sites (powered and unpowered available).

Back on the main road you’ll soon come to the turnoff to the Aboriginal community of Beagle Bay (located approximately 123km north of Broome). This 4km detour is well worth the visit, and we recommend checking out the Sacred Heart Church, which features a stunning mother of pearl shell altar built by local Aboriginal people and Pallottine monks. Please note, visitors must pay an entry fee at the community office before visiting the church.

For those wanting to divert inland, south of the Beagle Bay turn-off there is a narrow dirt track which heads 123km east before turning south to the Great Northern Highway, 55km west of the Willare Bridge Roadhouse and Caravan Park. Please note, this track is quite narrow and lined with trees that will scrape along any campers or vans wider than a LandCruiser or Patrol.

Turning back onto Broome-Cape Leveque Road after Beagle Bay, drive another 21km north to the Middle Lagoon turn-off. Middle Lagoon is located 34km from the turn and is a fan-favourite for camping and fishing. There are plenty of options when it comes to accommodation. Natures Hideaway Middle Lagoon , Gnylmarung , Whale Song Campground , and Mercedes Cove all offer unique and beautiful destinations to set up camp and explore the area.

Alternatively (or additionally if you’ve got time to spare), another 4km further north along the main road there is a turn-off towards the east which leads to La Djardarr Bay which offers basic coastal camping.

Another 44km along the main road are the turn-offs to the Lombadina and Djarindjin communities near Thomas Bay, both of which are easy 2km detours.

The Djarindjin Roadhouse is a good spot to stop for fuel and food refills, and the new caravan park has modern facilities and camper trailer-friendly sites.

The Lombadina bakery is a must-visit, offering fresh bread from its wood-fired oven on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The town also offers a range of accommodation, tours and fishing trips - bookings are required. Other sites to see include the old church, the beach and the Lombadina Art and Craft Centre. Permits are required to enter the town (day passes are available), and these can be organised at the office upon arrival. (E: [email protected], P: 08 9192 4936). The community is closed on weekends and public holidays, and private boats are not permitted.

North of the junction the main road passes by the all-weather airstrip that services the area. After this, you can spot a track heading off to the east to Mudnunn and the campground at Bygnunn.

Please note, the popular Kooljaman Wilderness Camp north of Lombadina closed its doors in late 2021.

Following the main road you will soon see a turn-off towards the remote Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm , a WA gem that offers locally grown pearls, tours, a fantastic restaurant and a wide range of accommodation and camping options. It’s other claim to fame is that it is home to the only pool on the Dampier Peninsula. Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm also has fuel for purchase.

Another 7km along the bitumen (you’re now approximately 215km from Broome), you arrive at Ardyaloon (One Arm Point), a remote Aboriginal community at the very tip of the peninsula. Permits are required and can be organised from the office. Once you’ve got that sorted, head out to Flat Rock Lookout and then the Ardyaloon Hatchery , where you can learn about the Bardi Jawi people’s connections to their saltwater traditions and enjoy stunning views of the fish and coral species found in the area.

The beauty of Cape Leveque

Located at the tip of the Dampier Peninsula, Cape Leveque belongs to the Bardi people, who allow visitors to come and stay in this beautiful and unique part of Western Australia. All land from the Djarindjin turn-off, approximately 40km south of the northern tip of the peninsula, is now included in the Bardi Jawi Indigenous Protected Area, which covers 126,990ha of land and sea country, and is patrolled by Bardi Jawi Rangers.

Cape Leveque Lighthouse is located on the western coastline and is well worth a visit. Built in 1911, this historic lighthouse was manned up until 1985. To one side of the lighthouse you can view the red sculptured cliffs which rise up above white sand beaches and crystal clear water, while on the other side of the lighthouse there’s a good swimming beach.

One of the best things about Cape Leveque is its remoteness, meaning that you won’t be sharing the beach and breathtaking sunsets with countless other like-minded travellers like you will on Cable Beach in Broome. The red cliffs are stunning to see as the sun sets, and this is a great spot to spot dolphins and migrating whales.

Things to do

The Dampier Peninsula offers a wonderland of places to explore, swim, fish and relax.

Please note, there are saltwater crocodiles in these waters, so be croc safe and always ask hosts or campsite staff about safe places to swim and fish. If you aren’t able to bring your boat as well as your camper, don’t despair. Beach fishing can be done at high tide from many of the beaches and rocky headlands, and many of the resorts and towns run fishing tours if you want to get expert advice from the locals.

Organising a cultural tour is a must, and gives great insight into the rich history of this remote part of Australia and the special relationship its Traditional owners have with the land. Brian Lee Tagalong Tour and Bundy’s Cultural Tours are great options, as are the many tours offered at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm and from the Lombadina community .

Another way to experience Cape Leveque and its natural wonders is via a scenic flight , which can be organised through the Broome Visitor Centre.

For the animal lovers, journeying to Cape Leveque in the winter months offers a great chance of seeing humpback whales during their migration to and from their calving grounds further north in the Kimberley region. They can often be spotted in the bay in front of Whale Song Campground.
