Context of the Kimberley coast with the rest of the Western Australian Coastline
It commences at the border with Northern Territory and ends at Wallal where the Pilbara Coast commences.
It is over 12,000 km in length, and has more than 2,500 islands adjacent, with archipelagoes, and a wide range of features not found in the more southern sections of the Western Australian coastline.
Apart from access at Broome, One Arm Point, Derby, and Wyndham there are few points along the length of the coastline that can be accessed easily or safely.
As a result of the difficulty of access, tourism ventures by boat and air have exploited the isolated coastal features.
