LAMBERTSBAAI

The picturesque seaside village of Lambert's Bay is situated two and a half hour's drive from Cape Town. This seafood mecca in the heart of crayfish country is increasingly attracting holidaymakers, weekenders and day-trippers. The pure white beaches and blue sea offers ample opportunity for sea adventures and sport. Visitors can view gannets, cormorants, penguins and seals at Bird Island, which attracts ornithologists from all over the world. Other activities include a 9 hole golf course, 4 x 4 and hiking trails, whale watching (in season) and all sea activities. No visit is complete without visiting one of its famous open air restaurants for an unforgettable traditional meal.
