Paternoster, meaning "Our Father" ostensibly, took its name from the heartfelt prayers of shipwrecked Portuguese sailors. Although life in Paternoster is still closely associated with the sea and fishing industry, it is to this historic and peaceful little fishing village that the traveler comes to relax. The Colombine Nature Reserve with the well known "Tietiesbaai" offers beautiful wildflowers during August and September. Whales and Dolphins also visit these water ten months of the year.
