Broome’s Staircase to the Moon is an unforgettable natural phenomenon occurring from March to October each year. Spawned from the brilliant amber glow on the horizon of the slowly rising full moon as its beams reflects across the recently exposed wet rippled tidal flats on the ebb of Broome’s massive spring tides. The combination and timing of these two natural events creates an optical illusion of an ever-widening golden staircase that leads all the way from Town Beach foreshore to the Moon.
