点评:Disappointing Changes at Cable Beach – No 4WD or Dog Access Until 2027
Visitors planning a trip to Broome to enjoy the iconic Cable Beach experience should be aware: this is not the year to come—nor is next year. Due to extensive works currently underway in the Cable Beach car park and ramp area, there is no four-wheel drive access to the stunning 22 kilometres of beach north of the rocks, an area long cherished by tourists, families, and grey nomads alike.
This northern stretch, traditionally open to 4WDs and dogs, has been a hallmark of the Broome experience for decades. It’s a place of freedom, natural beauty, and community—now abruptly closed off without alternative access provided.
What’s especially frustrating is that a brand-new ramp at the surf lifesaving club, just 500 metres away, could potentially provide access. Yet, the Shire of Broome has chosen not to offer even temporary allowances for vehicles or dog walkers during the construction period.
As it stands, pet owners are left with Gantheaume Point and Riddell Beach—both under strict regulations and often overcrowded—as their only options. Meanwhile, those seeking the full 4WD beach experience will find themselves shut out until the works are expected to finish late in 2026.
If you’re planning your trip around the iconic 4WD Cable Beach drive or bringing your dog to enjoy the coast, you may want to reconsider or postpone your visit until 2027.
It’s deeply disappointing to see such a vital part of Broome's lifestyle and tourism appeal closed off, especially when workable solutions appear to exist.
翻译:凯布尔海滩令人失望的变化——2027年之前禁止四驱车或宠物犬通行
计划前往布鲁姆体验标志性凯布尔海滩的游客请注意:今年不行了,明年也不行。由于凯布尔海滩停车场和坡道区域目前正在进行大规模施工,岩石区以北22公里的迷人海滩将无法通行四驱车,而这片区域长期以来一直深受游客、家庭和“灰狗游牧民”的喜爱。
这片北部区域传统上对四驱车和宠物犬开放,几十年来一直是布鲁姆体验的标志。这里充满自由、自然美景和社区氛围——如今却突然关闭,并且没有提供其他通道。
尤其令人沮丧的是,距离这里仅500米的冲浪救生俱乐部新建的坡道原本可以通行。然而,布鲁姆郡却选择在施工期间不为车辆或遛狗者提供哪怕是临时的通行许可。
目前,宠物主人只剩下甘瑟姆角和里德尔海滩——这两个地方都受到严格监管,而且经常人满为患——作为他们唯一的选择。与此同时,那些想要体验完整四驱海滩体验的人将发现自己被拒之门外,直到预计于2026年底完工的工程。
如果您计划前往标志性的凯布尔海滩四驱车道,或带您的爱犬去享受海岸风光,您可能需要重新考虑或将您的行程推迟到2027年。
布鲁姆生活方式和旅游吸引力中如此重要的部分被关闭,尤其是在看似可行的解决方案似乎已经存在的情况下,这令人深感失望。
