Located approximately six kilometers from Broome, Gantheaume Point is a stunning coastal landmark known for its vibrant red rock formations and the fossils of dinosaur footprints. These 130-million-year-old fossils are etched in the sandstone at the water's edge and offer a glimpse into Earth's prehistoric past. The area is a popular spot for both natural beauty and historical intrigue, with the striking contrast of red cliffs against the turquoise Indian Ocean providing breathtaking views, especially at sunset.

Gantheaume Point is also notable for its lighthouse, which was commissioned in 1905, and the poignant Anastasia's Pool, a natural spa modified by one of the early lighthouse keepers for therapeutic purposes.

The point is accessible by car or through unique hovercraft tours from Broome, offering a thrilling way to view the coastal scenery and ancient footprints.

Visitors to Gantheaume Point can enjoy dining at several nearby establishments. For instance, Matso's Broome Brewery offers a diverse selection of craft beers and local cuisine in a relaxed setting. Johnny Sausage is known for its casual dining with a great beer selection. Another option is Bali Hai Cafe & Restaurant, which provides a cozy atmosphere with good beer and dessert options.

Additionally, Cable Beach House offers modern Australian cuisine with water views, while Divers Tavern combines dining with live music and a lively atmosphere.

Gantheaume Point is surrounded by several quality accommodation options. The Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa provides upscale amenities like pools and a spa. Another choice is the Kimberley Sands Resort, with its poolside bar and luxurious surroundings. The Mangrove Hotel offers stylish bayview rooms with two pools and dining facilities. Lastly, the Broome Beach Resort features relaxed apartments with a BBQ area.

The area around Gantheaume Point offers several amenities, though they are more limited at the point itself. Nearby hotels and resorts, such as those at Cable Beach, provide amenities like pools, restaurants, and free Wi-Fi. The main attraction is the natural scenery and historical landmarks rather than extensive beachside facilities. Local cafes and eateries in Broome offer restrooms and refreshments, but specific beach amenities like showers are not readily available at Gantheaume Point.

Gantheaume Point is a haven for nature lovers and those interested in history and geology. Popular activities include walking along the coast to observe the dinosaur footprints, especially at low tide, and admiring the rock formations. Visitors can also enjoy sunsets over the Indian Ocean. For more adventure, hovercraft tours across Roebuck Bay offer a unique way to experience the area's natural beauty and access the point. Swimming is generally not advised due to strong currents, but the scenic views and hiking trails provide ample enjoyment.

While Gantheaume Point offers natural beauty, its accessibility for individuals with disabilities may be limited. The terrain is rocky and sandy, which can make mobility challenging. However, nearby wheelchair-accessible parking and some viewing areas can be accessed by those with mobility impairments. Plaster casts of the dinosaur footprints are available for viewing at the top of the cliff, which may be more accessible than the beach itself. Wheelchair-accessible amenities are more readily available in nearby Broome hotels and restaurants.

Parking near Gantheaume Point is generally accessible with designated areas for vehicles. While the point itself might have limited space, nearby areas and adjacent car parks serve as overflow spaces. Parking is usually free, but the capacity can be limited during peak tourist seasons. Visitors are advised to arrive early to secure parking spots, especially during school holidays and summer.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Gantheaume Point is its 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints, preserved in the sandstone at low tide. The footprints are considered some of the best-preserved paleontological sites in the world. The area's striking red rock formations are a result of the oxidization of iron in the soil, a common feature in Western Australia's Kimberley region. Additionally, the point has been an important navigation aid since the early 20th century with its lighthouse.

Gantheaume Point is itself an attraction due to its dinosaur footprints and stunning natural beauty. Nearby attractions include Anastasia's Pool, a natural spa with historical significance, and the Gantheaume Point Lighthouse. The area is also a popular spot for watching sunsets over the ocean. Broome town offers additional attractions like the Broome Museum and the vibrant Chinatown area for shopping and dining.
