Cape Leveque is at the northernmost tip of the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Cape Leveque was a camping ground for ancient nomadic people of northern Australia and is probably still being used today.

Humpback whales come to give birth in the area, and rest and play among the sheltered islands off the Dampier Peninsula.

[6] William Dampier's description from Cygnet off Cape Leveque on 5 January 1688 reads:[7] This part is all a low, even land with sandy banks against the sea ... the points rocky and so are some of the islands in the bay...

The soil is dry and sandy, destitute of water, except you make wells, yet producing divers sorts of trees.In January 2015, the locality recorded rainfall in excess of 400 mm (16 in).
