Lilli Pilli is located on the north shore of the Port Hacking estuary. The only adjacent suburbs are Caringbah, Port Hacking and Dolans Bay. The villages of Maianbar and Bundeena are located on the opposite bank of Port Hacking.

Lilli Pilli is surrounded by Gannons Bay, Little Turriel Bay, Port Hacking River and Great Turriel Bay. Lilli Pilli Point is situated at the end of Lilli Pilli Point Road, off Port Hacking Road. Lilli Pilli Point Bushland Reserve overlooks The Royal National Park. This bushland reserve is a great secluded picnic area that is often protected from the wind. A rock ledge runs along the northern point up to Speed Alley. Many fishing spots can be found here, all the way to Little Turriell Bay.

A small group of shops is located in Port Hacking Road, close to Lilli Pilli, but technically in Caringbah. It features a supermarket, patisserie/cafe, pizzeria, seafood take-away and hairdresser. The Lilli Pilli Kindergarten is also located nearby in Dolans Bay.

On The western side of Lilli Pilli Point Reserve there are some public baths and a fishing jetty. The baths are deep salt water baths that may be used by anyone that wishes to swim in the Port Hacking River with protected by a net.It's heaps of fun to jump off the jetty!! There is a 20m hole just outside the baths where many fish swimming down river seem to gather and feed. The channel provides opportunities for catching fish on the changing tide. At low tide the channel can be swum and the sand bank can be walked on, almost the other side. Locals take their dogs across for play but are always careful about the rising tide which can pose problems if not watched.

Lilli Pilli is home to the Lilli Pilli Junior Soccer Club.

Lilli Pilli was named for the Lilly Pilly, the native myrtles that grew on the point. Thomas Holt (1811-88) owned most of the land that stretched from Sutherland to Cronulla, including land on the point. In 1840, parish maps also showed that 20 acres of land on the point were owned by Francis Mitchell. The public school opened in 1957.
