Hermanus has stunning sandy blue flag beaches where you can swim, surf, sun bathe and even go horse riding. Grotto beach, our main beach, extends for approximately 20 kilometres, flanked on the one side by the sea and the other side a lagoon and a nature conservation area. This whole area is a bird watchers paradise with enormous lagoons, coastal birds and a mountain nature reserve which boarders the lagoon and the town.
We have excellent wine estates that are just out of town some of which have top restaurants for lunch or dinner. Shark cage diving is offered at Gansbaai which is a short drive away or transport can be arranged. We also have a light aircraft that will take you on whale spotting trips or to a game farm.
The cliff paths extend for over 10 km's and are incredibly scenic. We also have a nature reserve that borders the town and has fantastic walks into the mountains. Bird watching is highly recommended as we have the sea in front of us, a mountain nature reserve behind us and 2 huge lagoons on either side.
Golf is extremely popular and Hermanus has a top 27 hole golf club, Arabella is one of the countries top golf courses and is about a 25 min drive away. Other activities available are sand boarding, paragliding, kite surfing, penguin colony, and horse riding.

Loadshedding Facilities
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
