The Pinnacles, Nambung National Park

Thousands of limestone pillars, some up to 3.5 m tall, rise from the yellow sand of the Pinnacles Desert, formed over thousands of years from seashells. It's an otherworldly landscape, especially at sunrise and sunset, when the shadows are long, and at night under the stars.

A 4 km scenic drive loops through the pinnacles, with places to stop and walk among them, and the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre explains how they formed. The coastal town of Cervantes, nearby, has lobster and Lake Thetis, with living stromatolites.
