The rough and tumble times of early whaling have made way for peace and tranquillity at Fowlers Bay, where the sand hills are awesome and fishing is fine.
Named by Matthew Flinders in honour of his First Lieutenant Robert Fowler, the site was later used by explorer Edward John Eyre as a base camp for his historic overland journey to Albany.
Fowlers Bay, situated in the Fowlers Bay Conservation Park, has a seaside caravan park, kiosk (serving diesel only) and holiday units. Take time to observe the wildlife both on shore and offshore.
Just a couple of hours drive from Fowlers Bay is Head Bight where during the whale watching season from May to October you can view the magnificent Southern Right Whales.
Spectacular beaches, unspoilt coastline, rugged cliffs and sand hills are all close to Fowlers Bay.
