John Cove
The closest beach bay to town, with shallow, gentle water and a dune trail. It is a good spot for family swimming and picnics.
John Cove lies east of Bremer Bay town, near the mouth of the Bremer River. It is one of the beaches nearest the town center, about 5 minutes' drive away. The bay is sheltered, with shallow water, gentle waves, and fine white sand, making it good for swimming and playing in the water with children. Dune trails and lookouts overlook the whole of Bremer Beach and the bay. In winter and spring, southern right whales are occasionally seen in the bay. There is a car park and basic facilities, but no lifeguards. The evening light and sea color are most photogenic.
