BROOME, THE TOWN WHERE THE DESERT MEETS THE OCEAN

Choosing Broome as the place to spend your retirement years means living with the red desert on one side and some of Australia’s most uncrowded and pristine beaches on the other. It’s a small town in Western Australia’s Kimberley region and a popular tourist destination.

Cable Beach is a long white sandy beach where locals and tourists alike enjoy camel rides with spectacular views as a backdrop. Gantheaume Point is another popular spot, where visitors can discover dinosaur tracks during low tide.

Broome offers seniors and retirees the opportunity to enjoy great fishing spots, cruises and quality dining. The region is a well-known producer of commercial pearls, so one of the most popular tours is visiting the local pearl farms to see how the fine pearls are produced.

Health services are an important factor when choosing a place to retire. There are two main hospitals in the Kimberley region, and one of them is located in Broome. The Broome Health Campus offers a wide range of facilities and services, including an Emergency Room, operating theatres and specialists’ consulting rooms.
