Overstrand

The Overstrand, also know as the Cape Whale Coast, runs along the south western coast of the Cape Overberg. Fishing and holiday villages are dotted between mountain ranges and the Atlantic Ocean.

This is where people come to escape and enjoy real adventures in pure nature, as well as the abundance of art, wine, eateries, markets and speciality shops tucked away in the valleys and village side streets.

Towns in the Overstrand include: Rooiels, Hangklip, Betty’s Bay, Pringle Bay, Kleinmond, Hermanus, Stanford, Gansbaai and Pearly Beach.
