The commune is a beach resort on the Atlantic Ocean (sur-mer means "on-sea"); "Brem" is derived in etymology from the Gaulish "bram".

The main activity of the commune is tourism. It has an industrial area with fourteen companies. It is also known for its vineyard, planted during the Middle Ages by monks.
