More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the coach in Perth before dawn, the city shrinking behind glass as the coast draws closer and the road opens into scrub and salt-flat light. By midmorning the landscape has changed: limestone spires rise from yellow sand in the Pinnacles, their shadowed ribs and sharp angles giving the desert an otherworldly presence. Later the Atlantic wind pushes you along the shoreline near Cervantes, and finally the Lancelin dunes loom—steep faces of soft sand that dare you to drop in on a board.
