Fish Hoek

Approx. Time: 4 hours
Activity Level: Easy to Moderate

The sea's finest and freshest bounty is offered up daily in this aptly named destination. Along the False Bay coast road from Simon’s Town lays the quaint town of Fish Hoek. There is a busy main street with market stalls competing with shoppers on the pavements. The long sandy beach is one of the safest in the Cape for bathing and body boarding and when the wind picks up, hobie-cats and windsurfers take to the waves. From July to October whales visit Fish Hoek bay and loll around just 50 meters from the shore in preparation for mating and giving birth. Huge schools of dolphins are also sometimes seen.
