Pig's Gut is a gully about half a kilometre north of Hele, just seaward of Joe Moon's gully, on the west side of Hele Beach. Some blast marks suggest that it may may have been quarried or mined.

One explanation for the place name is that pigs were once kept there, which seems unlikely, given that the tide comes right in. I have however heard of pigs being kept at Joe Moon's, which seems much more likely. Another explanation is that good ore, that could be made into 'pigs', was found here; if so, the gully could have been mined for galena, or silver-lead. This is quite possible since Galena has been found on Broadstrand Beach on the other side of Hillsborough.

The gully on the beach next to that leading to Joe Moon’s is called Pig’s Gut, but he doesn’t know of pigs being kept there (A Galliver)
