Saldanha
Bay is known for it's contrasts and natural beauty. It lies between the Berg
River mouth in the north and the West Coast National Park (Langebaan) in the
south. It stretches inland to Hopefield with the Berg River in the
northeast.
There are numerous
small fishing villages, holiday resorts and seaside towns. This region is known
for its scenic beauty and abundant sea life.
 Whales can be seen during their
migration. The cold Benquela Current provides visitors with a vast selection
like mussels, crayfish and line fish. The region is a bird watchers
paradise.
The Hopefield district
towards the Sandveld, is covered with wild flowers from August to
mid-September.
Saldanha, Cape West Coast
Cape West Coast Whale Watching
The West Coast is not only esteemed for its seafood. You are also more likely to spot whales north of Cape Town, than in and around the city. The West Coast gets its fair share of the southern right whale, particularly at Melkbosstrand, Bok Point, Yzerfontein, the Rocherpan Nature Reserve near Dwarskersbos, Lambert's Bay and Saldanha Bay.
Licensed boat-based whale watching is available in Port Nolloth, Lamberts Bay, St Helena Bay and Saldanha Bay. |
