Hire a car in Port Hedland with Hertz

Port Hedland is a large coastal town in the Pilbara, Western Australia. As Port Hedland is both coastal and on the edge of the Pilbara, car hire in Port Hedland is a good way to get around this unique location. Port Hedland is warm all year, and temperatures can get very high in the summer. The beaches of Port Hedland are the home of a Flatback Sea Turtle breeding ground, which draws a large number of volunteers. Three different types of dolphin can be spotted, so hiring a car in Port Hedland and heading to the coast is definitely worthwhile.

Portland has a lot of attractions, including shopping centres, ore mining tours and sightseeing at the busy port. However one of the main attractions has to be the turtle tagging programme, which tourists can get involved in as well. Imagine hiring a car in Port Hedland, driving out to the coast and then spending a couple of days tagging turtles, helping to keep them safe. Another reason for renting a car in Port Hedland is that the tides around the city make it an excellent location for fishing or collecting shells, as the tides are very shallow when out, and very deep when in.

The Pilbara is a huge area that contains some spectacular scenery. Port Hedland is known as the 'gateway to the Pilbara', and from the town you can drive out to amazing places like the Karijini National Park, which has waterfalls and walking trails galore. South of the town you have the Millstream Chichester National Park, where you can swim in pools created by the Fortescue River. If you drive north, then you will find the Eighty Mile Beach, which is famous for its flatback turtles - the sand of the Eighty Miles Beach is almost pure white, so take a camera.
