Learn moreAbout Thirsty Point Trail, Cervantes
Starting from Thirsty Point car park the first part of the trail is firm gravel, but eventually becomes a sandy track. Most of the trail is flat or gently sloping, with the exception of the short climb up to the lookout!
There are a number of informative signs along the way providing interesting information about things you can see along the trail. Expect to see wildflowers between August and October.
The trail can be accessed from either end or in the middle.
If you want a longer walk, from the lookout you can continue along Hansen Bay Rd and follow the path around Lake Thetis and the stromatolites, before returning to town along Cervantes Rd.
