Summer has arrived in Perth and we're all looking for time to enjoy the lovely weather. Not far from Perth is the Turquoise Coast which offers so many different holiday experiences and short or long stays.
What to see and do all depends on your interests; for the adventurous, there is sandboarding, buggy rides and skydiving. For the rest of us normal folk that, don’t like jumping out of planes 😊, there are plenty of other options like the Pinnacles, sea lion tours, walks (art, historical or nature), swims, tours and meals to be enjoyed.
The weather is generally mild with the summer months reaching between 27 and 30 degrees Celcius during the day and only dropping to between 17 and 21 degrees at night. Rain is rare during summer, so it makes the area a very comfortable holiday destination.
The towns on the Turquoise Coast can be travelled to by bus from Perth heading north, or from as far as Broome heading south. Time to check out what’s available and make your travel plans to enjoy the lovely weather the region is having. And talking about Perth, due to maintenance works at the train station, our departure point has moved to the Beaufort Street Tourist Bus Stop which is near the corner of Beaufort Street and the James Street Mall. This is still only a short walking distance from Perth City Train Station.

| | | Cervantes is the gateway to Western Australia's Pinnacles Desert and the beginning of Australia's Coral Coast region.
The beaches are perfect for swimming, surfing, water sports, snorkelling and fishing.
No visit to Cervantes is complete until you have seen The Pinnacles located in Nambung National Park. The desert area is spotted with many ancient rock pillars, set among ever moving sand dunes. If you've previously seen them during the day, then take a night tour experience instead.
Take the time to stroll around town and locate all the art sculptures or look at the Thrombolites at Lake Thetis.
When visiting, make sure you stop in to the Lobster Shack, which offers audio guided tours each day from 12-3pm in English, Mandarin, Japanese, French, Italian, German and Korean!
| | | | | Even though Jurien is a coastal town, it is considered part of the wheatbelt region. Located 220km from Perth it is a popular short stay destination. With beautiful sandy beaches and offshore reefs with plenty of marine life, it makes for the perfect diving experience. This aquatic playground is known for being home to around 1/5th of the west Australian sea lion population. Tours are available and depending on the time of year, you may see not only sea lions but dolphins and, if you are lucky, a migrating whale! Try a fishing charter, snorkel or sandboard for some fun. For the super adventurer or adrenaline enthusiast, book a sky dive! |

| | As with many coastal towns along the WA coast, water sport enthusiasts love Greenhead and Leeman. In Green Head, when that sea breeze hits, surfers hit the water for the windsurfing. The main surf break is at Point Louise. Fish from the local jetty or snorkel and dive to view the diverse sea life. Hard and soft corals and sea sponges cover a number of limestone reefs. Seagrass meadows help to create a healthy and spectacular marine life. Leeman is a beautiful, quiet little village well known for crayfish and Dhu fishing. The beaches are lovely and the surf conditions can be ideal for surfing, swimming, wind surfing and sailboarding. If you like serenity and not crowds, you will love it here. |
