About

Célèbre pour ses 22 kilomètres de sable blanc et ses couchers de soleil spectaculaires sur l'océan Indien. La plage est réputée pour ses promenades à dos de chameau au coucher du soleil et les falaises rouges spectaculaires de Gantheaume Point.

Cable Beach is a beach destination in Oceania, set along the coast of the Indian Ocean. Its main draw is a long stretch of white sand, about 22 kilometres in length, that invites a slow, open-ended walk or a day spent simply looking out at the water.

Many visitors come for the sunsets. The sky over the Indian Ocean turns warm colours as the light fades, and the beach is especially popular at this hour. Camel rides at sunset are one of the best-known ways to spend the evening here, and they give a different view of the shoreline than walking along the sand.

Gantheaume Point

At one end of the beach, the dramatic red cliffs of Gantheaume Point rise above the shore. They provide a striking contrast with the white sand and the blue water, and they are a good place to stop and take in the scenery, especially when the light is low and the colours deepen.

What to expect

  • A very long, pale sand beach that suits walking and unhurried time by the water

  • Sunset views over the Indian Ocean, which many visitors plan their day around

  • Camel rides at sunset, a memorable activity for the evening

  • The red cliffs of Gantheaume Point, a short distance from the main beach

Cable Beach suits visitors who enjoy wide, open coastline and quiet evenings outdoors. Because the beach is long, it is easy to find a stretch that feels calm, even when the more popular spots are busy at sunset. If you are deciding whether to go, the combination of a long white beach, a dependable sunset and the cliffs at Gantheaume Point makes it a natural choice for a relaxed coastal visit.
