VREDENBURG & JACOBSBAAI

Vredenburg

24-hour petrol and banking facilities are available. The business centre of the West Coast offers shopping opportunities, garages, good schools and many other essential services to surrounding, smaller towns, eg. Paternoster.
The golf course just outside Vredenburg, has earned its reputation as one of the best and is extremely popular.

Jacobsbaai

Jacobsbaai is a beautiful isolated Bay a few kilometers north of Saldanha Bay with a sea frontage of about 2 km. Its interesting coastline has peninsulas, rocky and sandy bays with cosy beaches and an abundance of seafood, crayfish, fish, mussels and abalone. Jacobsbaai is often referred to as " Namaqualand by the sea" since its wild flowers is breathtakingly beautiful in spring.
