Elands Bay, Western Cape
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elands Bay is a town in South Africa, situated in the Western Cape Province, at . The town is located about two and a half hours drive north from Cape Town.
Still undiscovered and in its own natural habitat, holidaymakers, nature lovers, hikers and surfers who look for something different and unpretentious, Elandsbaai adds a completely fresh, natural way of relaxation, easy and uncomplicated. The quaint little town situates itself between the Atlantic Ocean and the Baviaans mountains, a rather awesome sight. One can experience the beauty of the Verlorenvlei (lake) flowing into Elandsbaai from Redelinghuys, that is so tranquil, peaceful, as if time stood still. Old-fashioned, fairy-like, but very few houses around the vlei, with the most unusual looking birds, dancing on the water, occasionally putting on a show, a lovely surfer's paradise beach, clean and crisp air, interesting mountains to walk, explore. Including the "African Footprints" caves, scenic views portraying the vast "openness" of land that boasts breathtakingly exquisite flowers in winter, with a fishing/crayfish community who live below pristine white sand dunes which also has some incredible picnic spots and a caravan park to offer and whale-watching from June to November is also on the agenda.
