Departing Cape Town International, one proceeds along the N2 towards Somerset West / Gordon’s Bay; take a left turn at Gordon’s, follow the coastal road clearly sign posted to Betty’s Bay / Pringle Bay and then sit back and with great driving pleasure enjoy Clarence Drive, an unequalled display of nature’s battlements rising and converging with the might of the Atlantic Ocean.

Having gasped at natures beauty, perhaps exclaimed at the sighting of a Southern Right whale breaching, or just playfully flapping it’s tail as you drive past, you are about to reach your desired destination; Pringle Bay.

Pringle Bay offers all its visitors a destination to remember. Safe, clean and unspoilt beaches combined with the very special “ in-season “ privilege of observing the Southern Right and Hump Backed whales frolic amongst the waves. A short drive to Stony Point will bring you to the African Jackass penguin colony. Stony Point is one of only 2 mainland-breeding sanctuaries for penguins.

Abundant bird life, including that which is associated with the natural wetlands, as well as other small wild life is also evident in the Pringle Bay area. By sitting quietly at the river mouth, your patience may be rewarded with a rare sighting of the very shy Cape Otter, or you might happen to “ cross paths “ with a baboon troupe routinely taking a stroll through the village hoping to find a “ small delicacy “ accidentally discarded.

A trip to Southern Africa is incomplete without visiting Pringle Bay and the Kogelberg; it is still one of the most unspoilt regions of the Western Cape. For those more inclined to action, why not view the Great White in his back yard, deep sea fish for the one you dream about, play golf where the “ tiger and his hunters often roam”, climb or abseil from some of the very highest peaks in Southern Africa, or fill your belly with the gastronomic delights of the sea. In Pringle Bay and its surrounding villages you can do just that.
