The area was formerly known as Camden, but by 1899 was renamed. Surveyors Bay was gazetted as a locality in 1971.[2]
The waters of the Huon River estuary form the north-east to south-east boundaries.
Route C638 (Esperance Coast Road) enters from the north-east and runs through to the south-east, where it exits.[2] [3]
