About Bremer Bay

The town of Bremer Bay is located at the mouth of the Bremer River right next to Wellstead Estuary which is named after the first settler - John Wellstead. The town was actually named by John Septimus Roe, Surveyor General in 1848, in honour of Sir James Gordon Bremer, who was the Captain of the Tamar.

Bremer Bay is a wide expanse of crystal clear azure blue water, and an endless stretch of striking white sand. The main beach only 10 minutes walk from the town, has a sheltered cove, popular for swimming. Excellent fishing from the rocks or the beach can be enjoyed. The whole area is great for boating, fishing, water-skiing, etc. Four wheel drive access to the many magnificent surrounding beaches offers stunning views and excellent fishing. Several beaches are now accessible by two-wheel drive cars.

From approximately July to November each year. Southern Right whales calve in the calm waters of the numerous sheltered bays in the area. Point Anne provides a whale watching platform. Occasionally, humpback whales can be seen from a distance as well as other marine visitors such as dolphins and seals.
