Hillarys is defined by its coastline. Locals describe a suburb built around the beach, the marina, and the ocean. The sheltered lagoon at the boat harbour is a go-to for families with young kids, and the dog beach draws a loyal crowd. People say it is an established, well-heeled part of Perth’s north, with coastal walk views that are hard to beat. The downside locals note is a car-dependent layout and a marina precinct that has seen better days.
