Visit Streeter's Jetty and take a walk around Chinatown

Streeter's Jetty is an iconic Broome location and it is great to visit at different times of the day to see the difference the local tides make. When the tide is out, you can see the mudflats, and then compare it again at high tide to see the beautiful waters of Roebuck Bay contrast with the mangroves and nearby scenery. Be mindful of water safety in this area and observe all signage.

Take in the views of the buildings around Chinatown to appreciate the history of this location. Chinatown is the location of Broome's only outdoor picture gardens, as well as many lovely cafes and eateries. Enjoy the public art as you browse the local pearl boutiques and showrooms.
