Introducing Cervantes & Pinnacles Desert

The cruisy crayfishing town of Cervantes (pop 750), 245km north of Perth, makes a wise overnight stop to enjoy the Pinnacles Desert at sunset when the light is sublime and the crowds thin. Go during crayfishing season (mid-November to June), when the fresh sweet crustaceans provide a compelling reason to visit.
