Broome Warnings Or Dangers Tips by Myndo Top 5 Page for this destination

Be careful when you go in the water!

Australias beaches are wonderful. Actually going in the water ... hmm. ?

The biggest problem would be the box jellyfish which is quite poisonous.
Around Broome be especially careful from Dezember to April. At some places around Australia they have nets, so you can swim without any danger.
On the beaches you often find "help-points" with vinegar. This isn´t for doing salad :-) but it helps, if you are stung by a jellyfish, just poor a lot over it..

Other poisonous things here in the sea can be: Stonefish (almost impossible to see), blue ringed Octopus, some Snails (yes), Lionfish, Scorpionfish ... etc.

So it really is best not to touch anything that you don´t know. Goes as well for snorkeling and diving of course.
