Devastated friend Andy Burns said Hardy had been snorkelling at the popular beach during a visit from London when suddenly “he was taken away from us”.

“He was 66 and looked like a Greek god, so fit and so happy to be back in his native WA visiting from London where he had made his home,” she wrote.

“He was a superb actor, a wonderful singer and guitarist. He also played drums and sax.

“He always loved acting on stage, as well as on film and television.”

Hardy’s older brother, Michael Hardy, shared the tragic news on Friday.

“I am devastated to say that my brother, Peter Hardy, passed away suddenly this morning… Rest in peace my loving little brother,” he wrote on Facebook.

The actor, known for his roles in Neighbors and McLeod's Daughters, posted a video of a cute willy wag-tail with the caption:

The tributes continue to flow for the beloved actor following the tragic news.

“This news is such a heartbreaking shock,” Ross Anderson wrote.

‘He will be held in the wide arms of the ocean he grew up beside, and in the hearts of all those he welcomed into his vital and resourceful orbit.’

“I first met Michael at the Highway Hotel in Bunbury, when he was in Divine Decadence. What a talent. What a loss,” wrote Rod Griffin.
