Gantheaume Point is the red rocky headland at the southern end of Cable Beach 
in Broome.
From the parking area, there are information boards giving information about the area. A walk leads to the point itself, passing the lighthouse on its steel structure.
The current lighthouse was built in 1984 with the original lighthouse first built in 1906.
There are castings of dinosaur footprints, the footprints themselves are about 30 metres offshore and visible only during very low tides. The footprints are thought to have been made around 130 million years ago.
The colours of the ochre red rocks and sandstone are beautiful on the headland, a photographers delight. It is also a great spot to view the long stretch of white sand of Cable Beach from its most southern end.
Gantheaume Point was named by Nicolas Baudin, a French explorer who passed the area in 1801. He didn’t look at the area too closely, thinking it was separated from the mainland, he named it Gantheaume Island. It was in 1821 when Phillip Parker King discovered the error and it was renamed to Gantheaume Point.
4wd access to Cable Beach can be had near Gantheaume Point.
