Located 16 km outside Broome on the Broome Highway, this spot borders the natural 'Long Lake' system adjacent to the famous Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park. The lake sits within saltwater crocodile territory in the Kimberley, offering a wild, remote water setting surrounded by iconic Australian bush. While the park itself showcases massive saltwater crocodiles, the adjacent lake waters demand extreme caution — this is remote tropical wetland habitat, not a recreational swimming area.
