Family Favourites
Our Family has some favourite hidden spots in the area, a MUST if you’re feeling like a unique adventure.
Sophiesklip Beach Walk – a drive along the Wortelgat Road to the Dunes at Die Plaat and a 1.5km Walk along the edge of the sea. LOW TIDE is essential. We pack Cookies & Cooldrinks to enjoy amongst the rocks at Sophiesklip before heading back.
Stanford Cove – a secluded grassy beach cove, just before Gansbaai. Perfect for Rock-Pool Explorers at LOW TIDE, or a dip in the channel with no currents. The older kids love to jump off the rocks into the ocean and swim back to land.
Stanford Wandelpad – walk or bike ride with the kiddies. It is the perfect early morning start before visiting the Saturday Morning Market in the Village. A MAP of the Wandelpad can be sent to you by WA, or you can collect one at the Café (if it’s open) or at Stanford Tourism in town.
