History

The town sits between the Indian Ocean and the Harvey Estuary. The inlet is WA’s largest inland waterway. Many people visit the town to enjoy the water there.

Fishing and crabbing are both popular during summer months. The sport has been banned in September and October due to a decline in crab numbers.

The Dawesville Cut, built in the 1980s, is a manmade channel to allow seawater into the inlet. The seawater helps to protect the estuary’s natural vegetation.
