A simple act of cleaning up after yourself, respecting the built environment and treating the town like you would your own home can go a long way to a sustainable future!
Skate Park and Civic Square
The new skate park and civic square are located on Seadragon Avenue (on the corner of Yandil Street) in Bremer Bay. There are public facilities including BBQ’s, picnic tables, grass areas and toilets available for use as well as a nature playground for all ages.
Whale Watching
January to April brings Orcas and an abudance of spectacular marine life to the Bremer Bay Canyon, located 30miles offshore from Bremer Bay. Tours are run daily through Naturaliste Charters and Whale Watch WA.
From July to October each year Southern Right whales can be seen calving in the calm waters of the many sheltered bays around the area and at times are as close as only six metres away. A whale watching platform is situated at Point Ann in the Fitzgerald National Park which is the perfect spot for catching a glimpse of the whales.
Fisheries Beach Marina
Opened in March 1997 by Minister for Transport Eric Charlton and used by the professional fishing industry, the Marina also offers excellent facilities for recreational boat launching, with two concrete ramps, ample parking and easy access. The natural bay is ideal for sheltered swimming.
Quaalup Homestead and Museum
Situated approximately 45kms from Bremer Bay in the Fitzgerald River National Park, the Quaalup homestead was built in 1858 and is open to the public, with guided tours and easy access to the Gairdner River. Accommodation is available with caravan and camping facilities.
Wellstead Museum
Situated 3kms south of Bremer Bay is the original settlement in the region. Built in 1850 of local stone and burnt lime, the museum includes viewing of homestead outbuildings, artefacts and antiques. Guided tours are available. When your viewing is done, relax with lunch or coffee and cake at the cafe.
The Old Telegraph Station
Bremer Bay came into existence when it was chosen as one of the Telegraph Station sites of the Overland Telegraph. The first Station was built in 1875 and opened for telegraphic traffic on the 8th May 1876. The original building burnt down and was replaced with the existing stone structure in 1896. In 2019 the Old Telegraph Station was completely renovated by a local family and is now a cafe and coffee shop with a focus on using fresh local produce and home baked goods!
Paperbarks Picnic Area
Located opposite the change rooms at John Cove. Upgrades were completed in 2018 and include a new shelter, gas barbeques and a fabulous new under 6 year old nature based play ground.
Swimming
Numerous beaches such as Little Boat Harbour, Blossoms Beach, Short Beach as well as Fishery Beach at the Marina are excellent swimming spots. John Cove is the main swimming only area, where classes are held in summer. The endless stretch of striking white sand and the wide expanse of crystal blue water make all water sports memorable.
Surfing

The Bremer River also provides for bream, mullet, crabs and prawns in season with a small boat launching pad at Muirs Point.
