Halls Head is a coastal suburb of Mandurah, immediately west of Mandurah's central area. It is largely residential and contains several canal estates developed since the 1980s.
Halls Head is one of four Mandurah suburbs (along with Erskine, Falcon and Wannanup) that lie on an island bound by the Mandurah Estuary to the north, the Peel-Harvey Estuary to the east, the Dawesville Channel to the south and the Indian Ocean to the west. Halls Head is the northernmost and most-populated of the four suburbs. The main roads are Mary Street, which links Halls Head directly to Mandurah CBD and Pinjarra Road. The other access road is the Old Coast Road, part of the national Highway 1 which links the suburb to not only Mandurah but also Perth and Bunbury. This road also acts as a suburban boundary, with Erskine on the opposite side of the road. Peelwood Parade and McLarty Road forms a general north-south arterial through the suburb, with other major roads including Leighton Road, Casuarina Drive and Seascapes Boulevard.
