Cervantes, Coastal town in Western Australia, Australia
Located 198 kilometers north of Perth, Cervantes spans along pristine beaches near the Nambung National Park and the Pinnacles Desert limestone formations.
The settlement began as a fishing village in 1962, taking its name from a shipwreck that honored the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes.
