Pilbara Coast is the coastline of the Pilbara often referred to as the North West Coast of Western Australia.

It is a complex array of river mouths,[1] ports,[2] peninsulas, islands, and a tropical cyclone susceptible zone.[3]

It starts at Wallal and ends at North West Cape.[4]

In Bureau of Meteorology reports, Pilbara Coast East runs from Cape Preston to Wallal, and Pilbara Coast West is from Wallal to North West Cape.[5]
