About Nambung National Park
Nambung National Park is a protected coastal national park in the Shire of Dandaragan, Western Australia, about 200 kilometres north of Perth near the town of Cervantes. It is renowned for the Pinnacles Desert, a vast field of thousands of limestone pillars rising from yellow sand dunes. The park also features white coastal dunes, beaches, and seasonal wildflower displays, and is managed by the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a stark desert landscape of thousands of limestone pinnacles of varying heights scattered across yellow sand, accessible via a scenic one-way loop drive and walking trails. The park includes coastal dunes, beaches at Kangaroo Point and Hangover Bay, lookouts over the Indian Ocean, and the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre with interpretive displays. The environment is arid, exposed and sandy with boardwalks and lookouts for viewing.
