Cervantes

An hour and half drive will have you arriving at tranquil waters, sandy beaches and marine life, and have you feeling relaxed and zen in no time. There is a huge list of things to do and see at Cervantes but we think the Pinnacles should be at the top of your list!
Located in the heart of the Nambung National Park, the Pinnacles Desert is one of Australia’s most unique landscapes, featuring thousands of limestone spires, some up to 12 metres tall. Explore the desert on a four-kilometre driving trail or stroll through at your own pace on the 1.2 kilometre walking trail. The kids will love exploring the flora, fauna and don’t forget to get a photo too! To plan your day out at Cervantes, visit: https://www.australiascoralcoast.com/destination/cervantes
