Fishery Bay Surf Reserve
Eyre Peninsula
Fishery Bay is an iconic surf beach with multiple surf breaks. The surfing culture at Fishery Bay dates well back into the 50's with surf life saving competitions. These drew in a few thousand spectators and was supported by many SA Surf Life Saving Clubs. This set the momentum for the surf culture that follows.
The stoke grew and a subculture of beach community evolved. The Fishery Bay Surf Riders club was formed in 1962 by Trevor White and a small group of local surfers, who regularly had wave riding competitions at Fisheries.
Fishery Bay has been home to an extensive history of community and waves, shaping a lot of the surf culture here on the West Coast. In 2024, Fishery Bay became a surf reserve and with it, the community strengthened.
The Fishery Bay Surf Reserve community brings individuals together with nature. This collective energy encourages healing and supports growth. In doing so, they enable the community to work together to protect and enhance this beautiful surf reserve.
Surf Reserves "are iconic places of intrinsic environmental, heritage, sporting and cultural values to a nation. National Surf Reserves embrace all people to enjoy, understand and protect special coastal environments of universal value to the surfing world."
