The Control of Vehicles (Off Road Areas) Act applies in the Broome townsite. There are areas within the Shire that are set aside fro use by road-registered off-road vehicles. Motorcars and other road registered vehicles are permitted to drive and or park between the high and low watermarks on Cable Beach to the north of the access road only.

At Gantheaume Point vehicles are only permitted to travel between the high and low watermarks for 450 metres from the access road.

No unregistered vehicles, motorbikes or beach buggies are permitted on Cable Beach or Gantheaume Point Beach. In order to conserve Broome's dunal system, motor vehicles or motorbikes are not permitted in the dunes from Gantheaume Point through to Cable Beach and Coconut Well including the lagoon.

A maximum speed limit on all beach areas is 15km/hr.

The aim of this service is to protect the local environment. Should you operate a vehicle in the wrong place you will receive an infringement notice.
