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

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 at the Peppi Grove Coffee Shop & Restaurant.

Paperbarks Picnic Area
Opposite Change rooms at John Cove, facilities include gas barbeque and play equipment.

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
Surfing is another popular pastime, with excellent waves generally available at Native Dog Beach (Please note there is a rip at this site). Dependant on conditions and swell, waves are also found at Peppermint Beach, Bremer Beach and Blossoms Beach (which is suitable for beginners).

Fishing
Fishing can be enjoyed both on and off shore, with species ranging from herring, skippy and salmon, to deep water varieties such as nannygai, snapper, groper and a host of others. Fishing sites are located from Flat Rock (John Cove) around the peninsula to Reef Beach and the Pallinup estuary. The Bremer River also provides for bream, mullet, crabs and prawns in season with a small boat launching pad at Muirs Point.

Scuba Diving
Experience some of the best hard and soft coral diving on the South Coast. Sea Dragons abound as well as groper, Harlequin fish and many others. Lebens Diving Services deals in tank fills, hire gear, equipment repairs and a full range of courses.

Whale Watching
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.

Wildflowers
Wildflowers are evident all year round if on foot, and can be found in abundance from September through to November. Many rare species are found only in and around Bremer Bay and the Fitzgerald National Park.
