Nambung National Park — Attraction in Nambung

Very good, Apart from the amazing Pinnacles Desert, Nambung National Park is also known for its beautiful beaches at Kangaroo Point and Hangover Bay, coastal dune systems and low heathland rich in flowering plants. At the park’s northern end near the town of Cervantes, there is a loop trail and boardwalk at Lake Thetis where you can see some fascinating thrombolites (rock-like structures similar to stromatolites built by micro-organisms too small for the human eye to see).

The vegetation bursts into flower from August to October, creating a memorable spectacle for visitors. Just offshore is a stunning reef system protected in the Jurien Bay Marine Park.

The state-of-the-art Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre is open from 9.30am to 4.30pm on every day of the year except Christmas Day. National Park entry fees apply.

The best season to visit Nambung National Park is during September and October, when the wildflowers are blooming and vistas of wattles stretch from horizon to horizon, but in fine weather the park is interesting year-round. It makes a great day trip from Perth.

There are no camping areas in Nambung National Park but a full range of accommodation and other services are available in the nearby town...

Pinnacles Desert Situated just 17kms south of the townsite, the Pinnacles desert is the major tourist attraction of the region. Attracting around 250,000 visitors every year, the Pinnacles desert covers an area of approximately 190 hectares, is around 60 meters above sea level, and contains thousands of limestone Pinnacles, some up to 5 meters high. The variation in colours (due mainly to the variation in soil types), and the stark relief of the Pinnacles against a backdrop of constantly shifting sand dunes creates an eerie landscape of ever changing moods often viewed at it’s best at dawn or sunset when the shadows create remarkable patterns and shapes that ripple over the sands, Accessible by car or tour via a fully sealed road, the sightseer is advised to allow at least 2 hours to circumvent the viewing trail and access the lookout. Entry fees to the park are $12.00 per passenger vehicle (pensioner discounts apply), payable at the gate. Caravans and trailers can be left in the car park, as the 4km loop is not suitable. Pets, open fires, and camping are all prohibited within the park boundaries. Hats, sunscreen and water are essential pre-requisites for a visit to the Pinnacles, especially during the...

Have just been to see to see the Pinnacles it was awesome. When you arrive it cost $15 a car. If you have a concession it is $8. The woman gave up information about the route in which to take and mentioned there are cut outs you can park and take photos. We were lucky it was quiet on the day we went. So no hurry in getting out to take photos and back into car, was great just to walk around and really take in the sceney. Once finishe they have a gallery with information regarding the Pinnacles anda good gift shop with friendly and informative staff a real pleasure. Also very clean and good for people in wheelchairs.
