Pender Bay

Broome & The Kimberley


Exquisitely remote, this pristine bay is an important calving ground for humpback whales and many can be seen offshore from May to November. The easiest access is from either Whale Song Cafe, if open, or via the small Pender Bay campground, between Mercedes Cove and Whale Song, where clifftop vantage points provide exceptional viewing. Simple bush campsites (and an amenity block) are available.
