Stay on marked trails and roads: The limestone pillars are delicate — avoid walking or driving off designated paths.
No climbing or touching formations: The Pinnacles are natural limestone structures formed over thousands of years. Touching or climbing can cause damage.
Respect wildlife: Kangaroos, emus, and reptiles are often spotted in the area. Observe quietly and keep a safe distance.
No drones without permit: Drone use inside Nambung National Park requires prior approval from park authorities.
Leave no trace: Dispose of litter properly or take it with you.
No open fires or smoking: The park is a fire-prone zone. Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited.
Follow park hours: Entry is typically allowed between 9am and 5pm, though sunset and stargazing tours have extended permissions through licensed operators.

Plan your visit

Person standing by a large limestone formation in the Pinnacles Desert, Western Australia.

Photography tip: The light just after sunrise or before sunset creates long shadows that highlight the textures of the limestone pillars. Bring a tripod if possible.
Keep an eye out for wildlife: Early morning and evening are the best times to spot kangaroos, emus, and echidnas moving through the park.
Find the quiet zone: Walk a few minutes past the main loop. Fewer people venture that far, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped onto another planet.
Take the Desert Drive Trail: If you’re self-driving, follow the 4 km loop through the pillars. Each bend reveals a new formation, perfect for wide-angle photography.
Look for faces in the stone: Some pillars resemble animals or people. Locals say the desert is full of “watchful spirits.” Try spotting your own shapes in the rock.
