Jacobsbaai beach
Jacobsbaai or Jacobs Bay is beautiful. There are strict building restrictions and homes have to conform to the ‘fishing village’ theme which is lime-washed in a relatively modest Cape Dutch style. The 2 km of coastline here includes seven individual bays one of which is Jacobsbaai. These are quite close to one another, each one is worth exploring. Hospital Bay, for example, is great for swimming and Kwaaibaai is a great haunt for surfers.
If you’re a keen birdwatcher head to Smalbaai where you’ll see oystercatchers and cormorants. There are a couple of restaurants that will serve excellent “fish of the day”.
