Does anyone know how far they've got with the bitumin to the cape ? Also where can I launch a tinny and stay with a dog ? Last time stayed at Djoodoon on west side and it was excellent .

The road to Cape Leveque is unsealed from the Broome end to Beagle Bay )then sealed from there to the Cape.

I can't help with the launching placed for your boat

Part of the deal with the recently signed LNG processing plant is to seal the Broome to Beagle Bay section. I understand that it was due to be done this year, but events we all know about delayed that outcome, so it should see it in place next year I would think.
That will see Cape Leveque change forever, with the Broome "Grey Nomads" and their caravans gaining easy access to the bleep ula!!!!

Last sentence should read

There is also some talk of having a permit system in place so that there is only a certain amount of tourists in place at any one time.

Not sure about dogs, but the only boat ramp that I am aware of, that is available for tourists is at the aquaculture centre at One Arm Point. The two pearling places have ramps that may be available, but if its a tinny that you have, I have seen quite a few launched off the beaches if you don't mind getting you vehicle a little wet.
