Located north of the city of Perth in Western Australia, Hillarys boat harbour was completed in October 1986. It was opened to visitors in 1988 and since then has become one of Perth’s most-loved recreational destinations. It has plenty of restaurants, shops, places that offer entertaining activities and also places that cater to the needs of fisherman, boat owners, and those who visit the beach and tourists. You can reach the place by car or choose to take public transport that is available throughout the week.
When it comes to dining, Hillarys boat harbour has everything from a la carte in a formal dining setting or munching on something in a cafe by the sidewalk. The food is also from all parts of the world, be it sushi, pasta, burgers, steak or just yummy ice creams and desserts to go crazy over. Shopping is not just for the tourist. Although there are enough souvenir shops, you can also buy clothes, accessories, jewellery, swimwear and other beach necessities, music, art, and even gourmet food stuff.
