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.
