Hansen Bay Lookout

Hansen Bay Lookout in Cervantes is a must-see attraction offering visitors a panoramic view of Hansen Bay, surrounding islands and reefs, Lake Thetis, and Cervantes itself.

The lookout also provides a stunning view of the turquoise ocean along the coastline.

In addition to the lookout, visitors to Cervantes can explore the famous Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park. The Desert View Trail offers a unique view of sandstone structures, and Lake Thetis allows visitors to view ancient micro-organisms that are 3,000 years old. The bush and beach walk trail between Thirsty Point and Hansen Bay lookouts is also a beautiful path to explore during the wildflower season.

The best time to visit Cervantes is during the wildflower season, which spans from winter to the end of spring. The mild and pleasant weather during this time is perfect for outdoor activities, and the parklands in Nambung National Park are alive with spectacular wildflowers.

To reach Cervantes, visitors can drive from Perth, which takes approximately two hours. Alternatively, they can take a bus or join a tour group. Within the town, the Hansen Bay Lookout can be reached by a short steep climb, or visitors can follow the coastline and admire the beautiful turquoise ocean on the way to the lookout.
