The Dampier Peninsula features spectacular red cliffs and expansive ocean vistas. It is also a great spot fto glimpse humpback whales in season. Cape Leveque itself is paradise. Go there to enjoy its peace and solitude and its absolutely gorgeous scenery.

The fishing is good, too. Cape Leveque has a lighthouse and two deserted beaches which are sandwiched between two Aboriginal communities, Beagle Bay and One Arm Point. Permission to visit other areas must be obtained in advance.

The Landy was disabled on the track between Cape Leveque and Broome so drivers beware. It is not an easy track -- deep sand and rock for 150km. Be sure that you have fuel and water to spare. And check road conditions with the Broome tourist office before setting out.
