Suburb profile
Eighty Mile Beach is a residential smaller community in Broome with a familiar suburban feel. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix.
Pocket parks and green corners give residents room to get outside without leaving the neighbourhood. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
Homes here are sought-after, with many people drawn to the lifestyle the area offers.
