Hillarys Boat Harbour
A marina on the northern coast with a seaside promenade, a children's beach, restaurants, and shops. It is also the departure point for Rottnest Island ferries and whale-watching boats.
Hillarys Boat Harbour lies on the northwest coast of Perth. Inside the harbour is a calm children's beach. The Sorrento Quay boardwalk nearby is lined with seafood restaurants, ice cream shops, small stores, and play equipment, and it draws many families on weekends. Ferries to Rottnest Island leave from here (about 45 minutes), and from September to November you can take a boat out to watch humpback whales migrating south. AQWA is also inside the harbour. It is about a 25-minute drive from the city, or you can take the train to Warwick station and transfer to a bus.
