Betty's Bay Main Beach
Nature preserve
👍 A nice place to view penguins. Most of the area is cornered off for the birds. It is a nice spot, probably as good as the aquarium in Cape town to view them. This is not a beach for leisure. Large sections are cornered off. There are other beaches close by that can be used for leisure. Plenty of das...

We spent a wonderful couple of hours on the tou...

Klipgat Caves
Historical landmark
👍 Nice cave to visit. Archaeological value too. Not ideal for older or unfit people so better be in good shape to go there. Great place to take photos. The view is magnificent, the sea is in pure shades of blue, the beach nearby is clean but beware the cold water.

🫤 We did the quad tour!
The group consisted of my girlfriend and me and another couple.
The couple drove so ridiculously slow that they ruined the first 45 minutes of our tour.
Fortunately, one of the tour guides took us aside to drive a decent bit. What was great!
We have booked a tour of +- 1.5 hou...
