Broome’s famous Cable Beach makes Big 7 Travel’s list of best beaches in the world
Two Aussie beaches — including one in WA — have made Big 7 Travel’s list of top 50 best beaches in the world.
Broome’s famous Cable Beach, which is known for its beautiful sunsets and camel rides, came in at number 12.
“Remote Kimberley in Western Australia is renowned for its brilliant blue waters and endless sandy stretches, but it’s always been hard to reach,” Big 7 Travel wrote.

Among the redevelopments is the planned creation of a community plaza and a scenic lookout area offering views over the dunes.
Additionally, the amphitheatre at the northern end of the precinct will undergo alterations to better accommodate large-scale events and optimise views of Cable Beach’s celebrated sunsets.
Coming in at two on the list was Kangaroo Island’s Stokes Bay Beach.
Beating nearly all other beaches in the world, Big 7 Tavel said this stretch of sand was a must-visit in 2024.
“With its shimmering rock pools, cliffside location and sparkling turquoise waters, is by far one of the most beautiful.
“Getting here is half the fun too; the beach is accessible via a hidden rock tunnel.
“For those seeking adventures, the rolling waves provide ample opportunities for good surf, while the giant protected rockpool provides a safe shallow area for little ones to swim and snorkel.”
