Broome, which began as a pearling port over a century ago, still produces the world's most delicate pearls today. Cable Beach is a 22-kilometre stretch of beautiful white sand that has been named one of the world's best beaches. The natural phenomenon is known as the Staircase to the moon. The sand and sea draw many people to Australia's famous and unusual tourist site. The town, located just south of the equator, has a sub-tropical climate with bright sunny days and cool evenings. Most visitors come to see the city and the Kimberley region from May to September during the dry season. While Broome has a fascinating pearling heritage, Chinatown, located in the city's core, continues to entice visitors with its cosmopolitan atmosphere and pearl showrooms selling the best to the general public.
