The southern beach (WA 860) extends for 200 m between the southern car park and a central 50 m long circular seawall that separates the two beaches. The beach is backed by commercial operations then a grassy reserve. The northern beach (WA 861) continues on the northern side of the seawall for another 100 m, and is backed by a continuous grassy reserve. The main boat ramp is located 50 m west of the beach. They are popular beaches with large car parks to either side, as well as commercial facilities nearby. They are usually calm and relatively safe, so long as you stay close to shore and clear of the boating activity. Some bathers get into trouble when they swim or drift into the deeper water off the beaches. As a consequence the beaches ares patrolled by lifeguards during December, January and February. To the north of Hillarys Boat Harbour is a continuous 6 km long stretch of coast containing two beach systems that lie to either side of Mullaloo (or Pinaroo) Point (Fig. 4.211). The point is a cuspate foreland formed in lee of the Little Island reef group which lies 2 km seaward. Wave refraction around the reefs has resulted in the shoreline prograding about 500 m seaward to form the central foreland. Waves are generally lower along the southern Hillarys Beach (WA 862), while they pick up to the north along Whitfords-Mullaloo Beach (WA 863). Both beaches are backed by a continuous recreational reserve with car parks and good access points.
