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.
Between March and October each year, when conditions are just right, visitors to the North West region are treated to a natural spectacle – the Staircase to the Moon.
This natural phenomenon is best seen from Roebuck Bay in Broome.
There, the full moon rises over the exposed mudflats at extremely low tide and creates a beautiful optical illusion of stairs reaching to the moon.
This incredible natural event also occurs along the coastline at Onslow,Dampier, Cossack, Point Samson Peninsula, Hearson Cove and Port Hedland.
Here the dates to observe the Staircase to the moon phenomenon:
