Cervantes

Gateway to the Pinnacles and a coast of surreal beauty.

Overview
Cervantes is a small coastal town best known as the launchpad for Nambung National Park and its otherworldly Pinnacles Desert—home to thousands of limestone spires rising from golden sands. With stunning white beaches, seafood shacks, and easy access from Perth, Cervantes offers a unique mix of the serene and the strange.

See and Do

The local favourite
Sample fresh lobster straight from the ocean at the Lobster Shack, where tours and tastings combine local flavour with salty sea breezes.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Explore the Pinnacles at sunrise or sunset when shadows play across the desert, creating dramatic, photogenic scenes.

Adventures in nature
Swim at Hangover Bay, spot emus and kangaroos in the national park, or visit Lake Thetis to see ancient living stromatolites.
