Besides being home to whales and
dolphins for most of the year, the
West Coast has much more to offer.
Water sports include angling, surfing,
sailing and diving for crayfish and
abalone (perlemoen).
Hiking is another popular activity on
the West Coast and there are many hiking
trails as well as 4X4 trails.
Shelley Point, which is literally
a stone’s throw away, has a 9-hole
golf course and boasts a state-of-the-art
clubhouse. The Vasco da Gama Nautical
Museum is also situated in Britannia
Bay. Holidaymakers enjoy swimming and
jogging on the beach, and visiting the
many restaurants and pubs close by.
