About Gantheaume Point
Gantheaume Point is a dramatic red-cliff headland at the western end of Cable Beach in Broome, Western Australia. Known for its striking contrast of pindan cliffs, turquoise Indian Ocean and white sand, it features the Gantheaume Point Lighthouse, the historic Anastasia's Pool tidal pool, and internationally significant Early Cretaceous dinosaur footprints visible at very low tide. The point offers panoramic coastal views and is a popular sunset and photography location.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a rugged coastal headland with vivid red pindan cliffs, white sand and turquoise water. The site includes a clifftop lookout with the Gantheaume Point Lighthouse, interpretive signage, and views over Cable Beach and the Indian Ocean. At very low tide, 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints are exposed on the intertidal reef platform. Anastasia's Pool, a former tidal swimming pool carved into the rocks, can be viewed below the cliffs. The area is open and exposed with walking paths along the cliff top.
