Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Best Sunset Views
Plan to get there at least 30 minutes before sunset to claim a good spot and settle in for the changing light on the Pinnacles.
Bring Warm Layers for Evening Chill
Even on warm days, desert nights can drop sharply after sunset; pack a jacket or blanket for comfort during stargazing.
Self-Drive into Nambung National Park
Driving yourself means flexibility but check park alerts and fees beforehand to ensure smooth entry.
Use Red Light for Night Vision
To preserve your night vision while moving around or reading, use red LED flashlights or phone apps.
