Pinnacles Desert

The Pinnacles Desert is a vast field of thousands of limestone pillars rising from yellow sand within Nambung National Park, about 200 km north of Perth near Cervantes in the Shire of Dandaragan, Western Australia. The otherworldly landscape, with pillars up to 3.5 metres tall, was formed from ancient seashells and exposed by shifting dunes. It is renowned for its stark natural beauty, geological interest, and accessibility via a scenic drive and walking trails.

Visitors can expect a stark desert landscape of thousands of weathered limestone pillars of varying heights scattered across undulating yellow sand dunes within Nambung National Park. A sealed one-way loop drive allows viewing from a vehicle, with pull-over bays and walking trails and lookouts for closer exploration on foot. The Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre provides interpretive displays. The environment is arid, exposed and sandy with little shade.
