Celebrating the unique multicultural character of Broome, Chinatown offers pearl showrooms, art galleries, east-meets-west restaurants and sidewalk cafés. Chinatown features public art installations that honour the town's history and is a great place to spend the day.
Chinatown has been the heart and soul of Broome since the pearling crews set up their first camps and corrugated tin sheds in the 1880s. Today, Broome is an iconic tourism town, a boutique retail hub and a site of historical significance.
Purchase a South Sea pearl from the showrooms for the perfect souvenir of your time in Broome. South Sea pearls are among the largest and finest in the world. End the day with a night under the stars at Chinatown's Sun Pictures, the oldest operating outdoor picture garden in the world.
The Broome Chinatown Revitalisation Project has beautifully preserved the town's rich history while celebrating its vibrant culture and breathing new life into the heart of the community. The Roebuck Bay Lookout, an elevated viewing platform at the top end of Dampier Terrace, offers sweeping views and stories of the region through interpretive displays. The lookout is a key stop along the award-winning Yawuru Jetty to Jetty self-guided heritage walk. You may also like to download the 'Explore Broome' app for local walking trails and more.
