From world-renowned shark cage diving to peaceful coastal walks, this destination offers visitors an authentic taste of the Western Cape’s natural beauty and exciting activities.

A Glimpse into the Past

Once a humble fishing settlement, this coastal village grew in prominence thanks to its rich marine life and connection to the ocean.
