The Pinnacles Desert

Fabulous place to visit, the discovery centre has heaps of interesting information to learn about the pinnacles before actually going to look at them. There is a walking trail around them or you can follow the road around bearing in mind it’s a dirt road all around them but well maintained so 4wd not necessary. There are a lot more of them than you expect from various YouTube blogs you may have seen and all shapes and sizes, worth a visit if you’re in the area.

A definite highlight of our WA holiday and a must see. A natural wonder that is free to enjoy and appreciate (apart from NP pass/entry fee). Make sure you bring sun protection. Best enjoyed on foot but there is a drive by/stop option.

Must visit spot while visiting WA. Around 200 KMs from Perth this place offers some stunning views. If you have your own vehicle you can explore pinnacle drive, easy than walking 😊. Should stop by Desert view and enjoy the mesmerising view of the desert. Good Drive. If you are taking your electric vehicle nothing to worry you can stop at Lancelin enroute and get your vehicle charged. Happy Exploring. 😊

The Pinnacles Desert is breathtakingly beautiful! The unique limestone pillars rising from the sand are like nothing I've ever seen before. It's like walking on another planet. The early morning or late afternoon visits are best to avoid the heat and crowds. The scenery is perfect for photography, and the surrounding landscape is equally stunning. A must-visit when in Western Australia!

While the Pinnacles themselves are very cool, the park felt in grave danger of being over-loved. Went late afternoon - with hundreds of other tourists, many unfortunately ignoring the "dont do" list - parking in the middle of the road, climbing, standing and sitting on pinnacles, and at least 10 drones in the air, one of which almost hit my head in the parking spots by the lookout. Some obvious tiktak videos being shot by very selfish folk. Its a big area but we struggled to get a photo without people or cars in it (tip go over the back area past the lookout, less people). The only National Park in WA we haven't absolutely loved but honestly couldnt wait to get outta there.

We came during the end of winter where it wasn’t sunny for a few minutes and rainy the next. Nevertheless, the stalagmites basking in warm light look magnificent. The photos don’t do this place justice. Come and take a look yourself.

Bathed in the late afternoon sun, the jagged stalagmites of various sizes emerge from the expanse of golden sand, creating a stunning panorama. An approximately five-kilometer loop through the sand plain provides easy access by a 4WD to these natural wonders. There are ample parking spaces in the desert to stop and have a close look at the limestone pillars. Visitors without a 4WD are advised to park their cars at the parking lot and discover the desert by foot, as the tracks in some places are uneven and bumpy.

Such a cool place to visit! We came here just a few hours before the sunset and the views were so spectacular to observe. Road paths were clear and easy to follow within the Desert so that was great.
