For panoramic views of native bushland set against Indian Ocean backdrops, make Molah Hill and Grigson’s Lookouts your first stops on the road north. The panoramas are especially striking in spring, when the blooms of more than 900 wildflower species colour the landscape of Lesueur National Park. On reaching Jurien Bay (just 25 minutes north of Cervantes), you can choose to spend the rest of your morning snorkelling the biodiverse Jurien Bay Marine Park. Or, you can get a completely different perspective of the coral coast by skydiving out of a plane and onto the beach. At Jurien Bay, jump aboard a sea lion charter to meet some of Australia’s rarest and most playful marine life. Head north towards Dongara-Denison, a 4WD detour leads you to Stockyard Gully National Park, where caving enthusiasts and curious beginners will find wonder, challenge and wildlife encounters. If you're travelling by 2WD, enjoy an afternoon exploring Dongara. Grab a coffee under the fig trees of Moreton Terrace, discover the town’s charming heritage-listed buildings along the 1.6 kilometre walk trail and enjoy another fresh seafood feast for dinner. Stay overnight in Dongara in your choice of hostel, motel, hotel or camping and caravan parks.
