A MAJOR PORT TOWN IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Port Hedland is the second largest town in the Pilbara region of WA. It's home to the biggest bulk export port in Australia and is a peaceful place to live during your retirement.
Choosing Port Hedland as the place to retire to, means living in a town where you can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle by the ocean. Its main residential centres are Port and South Hedland, where you can find shops, restaurants, cultural and recreational facilities.
The region has great fishing spots, both land-based and offshore, and a wide variety of fish, including whiting, barramundi and blue salmon. There’s also an important population of turtles and two of its beaches, Eighty Mile Beach and Cemetery Beach, are renowned spots for turtle nesting.
Health services and facilities are an important factor when choosing a place to live during your retirement. The Hedland Health Campus is considered a major health care hub for the region and is a modern centre providing access to a wide range of specialist services.
