THINGS TO SEE IN CERVANTES
HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Pinnacles Desert
Located in the Nambung National Park to the south and east of Cervantes, this is the draw card attraction for the area. The Pinnacles Desert is one of the most unique geographical features in Australia and in the world. The lunar-like formations and yellow sand create an eerie and fascinating sight. The limestone formations are the remnants of an ancient seabed when the ocean's levels were higher than present day.
Lake Thetis
This local saline lake contains the oldest “living fossils” on the planet. The Stromatolites here are estimated to be more than 3000 years old and can be viewed from the Lake Thetis boardwalk which is also a great vantage point to see many native Australian birds.
Jurien Bay Marine Park
This area including the few islands offshore from Cervantes form the only major breeding area for Australian sea lions along the western coast of Australia. Lots of colourful corals grow in the area, although they don’t form reefs and the limestone reefs are a diver’s delight. Popular with scuba divers, snorkellers, swimmers, fishers, and has some great spots for windsurfers and surfers.
Thirsty Point Bush Walking
Walkers and hikers will love the bush walking trail from Thirsty Point to Hansen Bay which has both beach and bush views, and where some of the best Cervantes wildlife and wildflowers can be seen. There are also trails near Kangaroo Point, Ronsard Bay and Hangover Bay park areas with scenic views, recreational areas and picnic facilities.
