Welcome to Sweers Island


Sweers Fishing Adventures

Sweers Island has miles of golden beaches, blue waters, a wealth of history, and a huge variety of bird life. Although it is a fisherman's paradise, it offers enjoyment for the whole family. Sweers is located in Australia's southern Gulf of Carpentaria approximately 30 km off the coast, directly north of Burketown. The island is surrounded by acres of rock reef, with some coral, much of which has never seen a fishing line. You can fly-fish off the beach or troll from the boat. We cater for keen fishing groups and families. You're welcome to stay for one night or as long as you like. As well as fishing, you can explore the island's history, swim off the sandy beaches, and enjoy the rich birdlife and marine life.


UPDATE NOVEMBER 2023 -

* SWEERS IS CLOSED FOR 2023 AND WE ARE NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2024 *

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Kelly & Jeremy & Moo the doggie, for managing Sweers Island Resort through this busy year.
We'd also like to thank all the guests who visited this year and look forward to welcoming everyone back next year!
After nearly 35 years on the island, Tex & Lyn are easing into 'Retirement' on the mainland, though you may see them around the lodge from time to time!
