In 2015 I rode my Fat bike 1300km across the Kimberleys in Western Australia finishing at Broome. Spent a few days in Broome and I rode the length of Cable Beach just because I was there and unlikely to go back, even if i did unlikely to have a bike with me. Cable Beach is only 17km in length so 34km return trip which seemed pretty easy after what I had ridden the previous few weeks.

As you can see in the photos the beach goes out a long way and the area is notorious for 9 metre tides. I saw a bogged 4WD up near the dunes where most of the 4WD's were closer to the water. I stopped to chat to a guy who said you have to stayaway from the dunes as the sand is too soft up there, in a few hours that car will be under water and a write off without insurance. A bit sad but it proves there are idiots everywhere who want to drive on the beach and back then all Diesel rather than EV. At least Australian Insurance does not cover beaches so we don't have to pay for the idiots.

I rode back thinking if the tide came in I can carry my bike, or if I lost it I only paid $1900 for it new so not a huge loss compared to a fairly new 4WD.
