A town nearby

Pringle Bay

A beach village under Hangklip, with no street lights and no hurry.

30 minutes from the estate

A scatter of houses in the fynbos at the foot of Hangklip, on a beach that runs for a couple of kilometres and is usually empty. There is nothing to do here, which is the entire point of it.

What to do there

  • The beach, and the walk out towards Hangklip itself
  • Lunch at one of the two or three places in the village
  • Drive on to Rooi Els for the birding

Worth knowing

  • Baboons come into the village. Doors and windows closed, food out of sight
  • Most of the roads are gravel and unlit
