The Pinnacles Desert, located within Nambung National Park near Cervantes, Western Australia, offers a unique geological landscape of ancient limestone formations. It is easily accessible by car, about a 2-2.5 hour drive north of Perth, with a scenic loop drive and walking trails suitable for most visitors, though some sandy paths may pose challenges for wheelchairs. Visitors can explore independently by self-driving or join guided tours from Perth, which often include other regional attractions. The best time to visit is during the cooler months of spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May) to avoid extreme summer heat and flies; early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for photography and fewer crowds. Entry typically costs around AUD $15 per vehicle for park access, with guided tours being significantly more. A typical visit duration ranges from 1 to 3 hours, allowing time for the scenic drive, short walks, and the interpretive centre. Remember to bring water, sun protection, and a hat due to the exposed environment.
