Streeter's Jetty
An old timber jetty among the mangroves beside Chinatown, where pearling luggers once unloaded. The original piles remain, and mudflats appear at low tide.
Built in the late 19th century by the merchant Streeter, the jetty was used for unloading pearl shell and resupplying luggers. It is the only surviving original pearling-era jetty in Broome. A timber boardwalk runs into the mangroves, and the view changes dramatically between high and low tide. It is now managed by the Pearl Luggers museum and is sometimes open only on guided tours. The exterior can be viewed from the roadside.
