At the park’s northern end near the town of Cervantes, there is a loop trail and boardwalk at Lake Thetis where you can see fascinating rock-like structures called stromatolites, built by micro-organisms too small for the human eye to see. Blooming beauties The vegetation bursts into flower from August to October, creating a memorable spectacle for visitors. Just offshore is a stunning reef system protected in the Jurien Bay Marine Park. Desert discovery The state-of-the-art Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre is open from 9:30am-4:30pm on every day of the year except Christmas Day. National Park entry fees apply. When to go The best season to visit Nambung National Park is during September and October, when the wildflowers are blooming and vistas of wattles stretch from horizon to horizon, but in fine weather the park is interesting year-round. It makes a great day trip from Perth. Where to stay There are no camping areas in Nambung National Park but a full range of accommodation and other services are available in the nearby town of Cervantes. We recognise and acknowledge Yued people as the Traditional custodians of Nambung National Park.
