To go to the beaches at Bemm River one needs either a boat to go across the inlet to the channel and the beach, or to go down the back road several kilometres to the back beaches.   The township is sited on the edge of Sydenham Inlet and from Luderick Park one can enjoy the view. 

 

Bemm River is unique in its position - one of Victoria's best bream fishing spots and is quickly gaining a reputation as a prime destination for flathead.  The river is still classified as being in good condition thus providing clean, fresh water to the estuary and feeding our schools of fish.  On the eastern side of the estuary is Croajingalong National Park; to the north is Bemm State Forest and to the west is the Cape Conran Coastal Park.  Bemm River also provides access to some of the best remote beaches you'll visit along the Victorian coastline.  Many correspondents state that it is part of the Ninety Mile Beach but it isn't - the Ninety Mile Beach finishes just east of Lakes Entrance, around the mouth of Lake Tyers.
