Popular water activities in the surrounding area include boating, windsurfing, fishing and swimming. Hopetoun has a population of approximately 300 people, with magnificent coastal scenery and unspoilt beaches. The town was originally settled by whalers and sealers, who hunted in the Southern Ocean and later thrived with the local discovery of gold and copper. Recent nickel mining located between Hopetoun & Ravensthorpe has also attracted many more people to Hopetoun. The Hopetoun Maritime Facility is centrally located in the town centre.
