Cervantes is a small, laidback fishing town surrounded by ocean and white sandy beaches where you can swim. The main tourist destination is the nearby Pinnacles Desert, which is a part of the Nambung National Park.


Pinnacles Desert and Nambung National Park is a major natural attraction, and has an amazing stock of bird and animal life. There are several operators to offer tours of the Pinnacles and the Nambung National Park. It is an absolutely must to visit if you are in Cervantes. Amazing natural formations of limestone standing five metres high and formed about 25,000 to 30,000 years ago, the Pinnacles are definitely unique. 


You can enter the park with a two wheel drive vehicle, but it is recommended to take a 4WD if you want to get most out of it. You also have to bring your own food, and although there are BBQ facilities and toilets available you are not allowed to camp the night in Nambung National Park. 


If you visit the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre, you can also find more information about other national park and nature reserves. Besides visiting the Pinnacles Desert, you can see some Australian sea lions around the offshore reefs near Cervantes.
