Guide to Cervantes Western Australia Australia

Cervantes is approximately 245 kilometres or three hours’ drive north of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, and is home to the world-famous Pinnacles Desert.

Only four kilometres inland from the beach, the amazing Pinnacles are one of the State’s favourite and most unique attractions.
