Staircase to the Moon

The Staircase to the Moon is a natural phenomenon that occurs in Broome. It happens when a full moon rises over the exposed tidal flats of Roebuck Bay during specific times of the year, creating an optical illusion of a staircase leading to the moon. 

The reflection of the moonlight on the rippled sand creates a stunning visual effect resembling a staircase.

 The phenomenon typically occurs for three consecutive nights each month, usually around the time of the full moon.

The Staircase to the Moon markets in Broome are a series of vibrant outdoor markets held during the occurrence of the Staircase to the Moon natural phenomenon.

The markets provide a fantastic opportunity for local artisans and vendors to showcase their talents and products, while also offering visitors a chance to experience the unique culture and atmosphere of Broome. Live music, performances, and entertainment often accompany the markets, adding to the festive ambiance.

It's a wonderful way to experience the magic of the Staircase to the Moon while immersing oneself in the local culture of Broome.
