Roebuck Bay, Broome
Town Beach is the famous spot when it comes to staircase to the moon. Hoards of tourists and locals flock to the iconic beach every month and it isn't unusual to see huge crowds flock to the beach during the event.

Town Beach is highly accessible, close to lots of fun places for before and after, and of course provides a great brag factor to put on your social media pages. There are also the Town Beach markets to keep you around a bit longer.

Hearson's Cove, Karratha
Hearson's Cove offers possibly the best staircase to the moon experience. It has an expansive mudflat and, unlike Broome, much fewer people. The moon also rises over the mainland, giving it a deep orange glow from the red earth below.



On the busiest nights you will see maybe 60-80 cars lined along the beach, but outside of peak season it isn't unusual to have the beach to yourself and 10-15 other cars scattered along the bay.

Town Beach, Onslow
The best thing about this one is you can watch it from the pub. The Onslow Beach Club is right on the beach, with uninterrupted views of the mudflats. Sounds pretty great to us!

Point Samson
Another one with the benefit of a pub nearby, and a double-storey one at that. Point Samson is a sleepy old town with an interesting mix of what can best be described as shack mansions and coastal living homes.

The staircase here is usually only attended by locals, meaning it is likely to be much quieter than anywhere else around.

Cossack
If it is quiet you are after however, there is no better place than Cossack. The isolated ghost town offers a stunning and mostly empty stretch of beach to watch the natural phenomenon from.

The only issue here is the sandflies, but that is nothing a bit of bushman's can't fix.
