Cervantes, WA

Cervantes is approximately 245 kilometres or three hours’ drive north of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, and is home to the world-famous Pinnacles Desert.

Cervantes and The Pinnacles

Only four kilometres inland from the beach, the amazing Pinnacles are one of the State’s favourite and most unique attractions.

The drive through Nambung National Park on the way to the Pinnacles allows visitors the fantastic opportunity to see kangaroos and emus in their natural environment, along with a diverse array of wildflowers, when in season.
