There's no shortage of things to do with the family in Australia's biggest state.

10 ways to entertain the whole family in WA

Spend the day on Cable Beach, Broome

If you’re staying at Discovery Parks - Broome, spending time on Cable Beach is one of the best family-friendly things you can do.

Unlike beaches in the south, like Fremantle or Coogee, Cable Beach is so big that you’ll have loads of space to yourself.

Once you're there, one of the best things to do on Cable Beach as a family is to hop on a camel ride, easily one of the most famous activities in the area. While you can choose the morning or evening, we highly recommend the evening because the sunsets in Broome are unreal.
