Cape Leveque (2 nights)
At the top of the Dampier Peninsula is Cape Leveque.  The resort there with the best beaches for swimming and snorkelling is Kooljman.  We had found out it was fully booked whilst we were in Broome so had found out about another less ‘resorty’ place (AKA very basic and laid back) called Gambanana.  So we headed here and set up a great campsite overlooking the sea, east facing this time.  We then went back to Kooljman for lunch at their café and hung out on the beaches swimming, snorkelling and fishing.  No luck with the fishing but later that night a young guy called Dave, camping near us, gave us some mackerel he had caught that day-score!  We had a relaxing day at the camp site, exploring the rocky shore line, fishing (still nothing) and eating the yummy mackerel. 

The sunrises were stunning, I got up at 5.30am each morning (we go to bed early) to watch it and on the last morning was lucky enough to spot turtles swimming and fishing in the calm sea at high tide, awesome!!!!!
