Named in honour of the Java-to-Australia undersea telegraph cable which
reaches shore here, Cable Beach is situated 7 km (4.3 mi) from town
along a bitumen road. The beach itself
is 22.5 km (14.0 mi) long with white sand, washed by tides that can reach over 9 m (30 ft). The beach is almost perfectly flat. Caution, is required when swimming from November through March as box jellyfish are present during those months.
There have been cases where crocodiles
have been sighted off the shore, but this is a rarity and measures are
taken to prevent these situations. Four wheel drive vehicles may be
driven onto the beach from the car park. This allows people to explore
the beach at low tide to a much greater extent than would be possible on
foot. Sunset camel rides operate daily along the beach.
