Mindarie Marina tries really hard to be just like Hillarys, but it doesn’t quite pull it off. It has a hotel, several food places, like Dome, Boat and The Waterfront as well as a gift store, hairdresser and a photographer’s gallery. It just doesn’t have enough shops to draw the big crowds. This can be a good thing if you want a quiet meal overlooking the water, but it isn’t really a place that you could spend the whole day at.
