Explore the famous limestone structures of Nambung National Park A visit to Nambung National Park's Pinnacles is a must. Found between Cervantes and Jurien Bay, these amazing natural limestone structures, some standing as high as 3.5 metres, were formed approximately 25,000 to 30,000 years ago, after the sea receded and left deposits of sea shells. Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand, leaving the pillars exposed to the elements. |
