Staircase to the Moon Dates

Staircase to the Moon is a natural phenomenon which occurs when a full moon rises over the exposed tidal flats of Roebuck Bay. The Staircase to the Moon happens 2 - 3 days a month between March and October.

The Town beach precinct is a great vantage spot to view the Staircase to the Moon. Another popular spot is The Mangrove Hotel Resort, who often have live entertainment on Staircase night. Other local spots include the golf club, the Roebuck Bay lookout or take a short walk across the road from Matso's Broome.

Staircase to the Moon Markets at Town Beach (Hamersley Street) are held from 4pm to 8pm on selected dates. Here you can sample local produce, buy hand made products, a variety of international food, and enjoy the sounds of local entertainers. Night Markets also take place every Thursday night, usually from June to September. Map link for location of the Staircase Markets here.

Thanks to Greg Quicke, from Astro Tours for kindly providing these dates.
