Wine tasting is provided on weekdays and a drive through this beautiful countryside is well worthwhile.

Old Harbour

This natural harbour, formerly the main landing point of the fleet of small fishing boats, is one of a focal point of interest to visitors. The cliff-top entrance to the harbour offers visitors a panoramic view of Walker Bay and also provide an excellent vantage point for whalewatching. The Old Harbour Museum has several exhibitions depicting the history of fishing and whaling in the area. The tremendous interest in whale watching led to the creation of the Whale House by the Old Harbour Museum.

New Harbour

Sporting a magnificent restaurant on the rocks, one can enjoy the harvest of the sea - crayfish, mussels, perlemoen etc. Fishing boats lie anchored along the quay and many a fresh fish can be bought from the keen fishermen. The harbour has many seafood factories in operation as well as an excellent fish shop which sells the daily catch to suit all palates.
