Beat the Winter Blues and Get Out and About in False Bay!

• Take a Scenic Beach Walk

Start your day with a refreshing walk along Fish Hoek Beach, one of the most stunning stretches of sand on the False Bay coast. If you’re feeling adventurous, continue your stroll to Glencairn, where the gentle lapping of the waves and crisp sea air will leave you feeling invigorated.

• Grab a Bite at a Local Favorite

Once in Glencairn, warm up with a juicy burger and chips at Pizza Khaya. This cosy spot is a local favourite, offering delicious food with a laid-back atmosphere—perfect for a casual winter lunch.

• Hike with a View

Up for a challenge? Pack some hot chocolate in a flask and head up Elsie’s Peak. The breathtaking views over False Bay make the climb absolutely worth it. After soaking in the sights, take a leisurely hike back down and find a bench along Jager’s Walk, where you can watch the waves roll in and keep an eye out for passing whales—a magical winter experience.

• Explore Silvermine Wetland

For a change of pace, take a stroll around the Silvermine Wetland. This tranquil nature reserve is teeming with birdlife, and if you're lucky, you might spot one of the elusive Western Leopard Toads. The lush scenery and peaceful surroundings make this an ideal spot for nature lovers.

• Golf and Good Times

If golf is your game, you’re in luck! Clovelly Golf Course offers a beautiful setting for a morning round. Not a golfer? No problem! The Clovelly Country Club has a warm, inviting bar where you can enjoy a cold beer and a plate of hot chips, perfect for winding down after an active day.

• Kalk Bay Adventures

For those who love exploring charming coastal villages, Kalk Bay is a must-visit. Take a scenic hike up Trappies Kop, then reward yourself with a steaming coffee at one of Kalk Bay’s quirky cafés. While you're there, don’t miss a wander through the Kalk Bay Harbour—home to colourful fishing boats, bustling seafood restaurants, and of course, the legendary Kalky’s, where you can feast on fresh fish and chips straight from the ocean.

• Take a Scenic Drive to Cape Point

No holiday in False Bay is complete without a drive down to Cape Point, where the dramatic cliffs and endless ocean views are nothing short of spectacular. Make sure to stop and explore the ancient lighthouses, take in the fresh sea air, and maybe even spot some wildlife along the way.
