Hillarys Boat Harbour

Hillarys Boat Harbour is a man-made marina and waterfront tourist precinct in Hillarys, within the City of Joondalup, about 20 km northwest of Perth, Western Australia. Developed in the late 1980s, it combines protected swimming beaches, boat pens, boardwalks, shops and restaurants with the Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA). It serves as a departure point for fishing charters, dive boats and seasonal whale-watching tours and is a popular family recreation destination.

Visitors can expect a sheltered harbour with boardwalks encircling boat pens, protected sandy swimming beaches on both sides, and a waterfront retail and dining precinct. The area includes the Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA), souvenir and fashion shops, cafes and restaurants, lookouts over the Indian Ocean and Rottnest Island on clear days, and jetties where charter boats, ferries and tour vessels depart. The setting is flat, paved and family-oriented with open promenades and park areas.
