Swimming on the Dampier Peninsula


There are no patrolled swimming areas or regular lifeguard services at the beaches, lagoons, waterholes and other natural waterways across the Dampier Peninsula. The Kimberley coastline can present risks including strong tides and currents, marine stingers (Irukandji), crocodiles and sharks. Never assume a calm or sheltered-looking waterhole, lagoon or beach is safe for swimming simply because other people are using it.

Reminder: The Shire of Broome recommends swimming only at patrolled beaches.
