2025 Broome Staircase to the Moon Dates
Planning a Kimberley cruise but would like to tie it in with one of Broome’s most popular natural attractions, the famed Staircase to the Moon? Below we’ve put together a list of upcoming ‘Staircase dates’ that you will be able to view this natural phenomenon, and our team will be more than happy to assist in helping you line this event up with the ideal Kimberley Cruise.
The first thing to consider is that the Staircase is visible only three nights each month, when the full moon rises over the exposed mudflats of Broome’s Roebuck Bay. The phenomenon appears when light reflected from the moon onto the mudflats creates an illusion of a staircase from the beach rising directly to the full moon.
On selected ‘Staircase nights’, locals and travellers alike are drawn to the Broome’s Town Beach– not to be confused with Cable Beach – to take in all the action and festivities of the Town Beach Staircase Markets. Full of local colour and atmosphere, there’s stalls offering homemade jewellery, arts and crafts, homewares and much more. After a stroll around the stalls you will be able to sit back and enjoy the sounds of some of Broome’s best musicians while you sample the Tastes of Broome cuisine.
Staircase can be viewed Town Beach, which is located in town at the end of Robinson Street. Or, if you’re lucky enough to be staying at the Mangrove Hotel, you’ll be able to take in the staircase from the hotel’s stylish Bay Club. If you’re accommodation is located out at Cable Beach you will need to head into town to experience the staircase.
