Jurien Bay: Ocean Playground and Underwater Marvels

A favourite with beachgoers and nature lovers alike, Jurien Bay is a laid-back coastal town surrounded by pristine marine parks and white sandy beaches. Here, the turquoise waters are more than just beautiful—they’re brimming with life.

Swim with Sea Lions

One of Jurien Bay’s most unforgettable experiences is the chance to swim with the playful Australian sea lions. Known as the "puppies of the sea," these curious creatures love to interact with snorkellers, turning a simple dip into a magical marine encounter.

Jetty Walks & Beach Days

Stroll the Jurien Bay Jetty at sunset, or enjoy a picnic along the foreshore where calm, shallow waters are perfect for families. Adventurers can explore nearby islands by boat or go fishing straight from the beach.

Lesueur National Park

Just inland, Lesueur National Park bursts to life in spring with over 900 species of wildflowers. It's a must-visit for hikers, photographers, and anyone wanting a different perspective on the region’s natural diversity.

Cervantes: Home of the Pinnacles and Coastal Delights

Only 20 minutes south of Jurien Bay lies Cervantes, a small fishing village that packs a punch when it comes to natural attractions and local flavour.

The Pinnacles Desert

Cervantes is the doorstep to Nambung National Park, home to the otherworldly Pinnacles Desert. These ancient limestone pillars rise from golden sands like natural sculptures - best viewed at sunrise or sunset when shadows dance and the landscape glows. Walking among them is like stepping into another planet.

Lobster, Fresh from the Sea

Cervantes is also famous for its Western Rock Lobster. Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at the Lobster Shack, where you can also take a behind-the-scenes tour of the working factory and learn how these WA delicacies make it from ocean to plate.

Lake Thetis & Stromatolites

Just a short drive from town, Lake Thetis offers a glimpse into the Earth’s early history. This salt lake is home to stromatolites, some of the oldest living organisms on the planet—an ancient wonder hidden in plain sight.
