Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bobbejaan Mountain lies this hotspot for surfers around the world. The Bobbejaan Mountain cliffs project into the sea at Baboon Point and a large rock shelter in the cliff is adorned with primitive San paintings. Excavations at a rock shelter in the cliffs indicate habitation by man 15 000 years ago.

Elands Bay Cave is a rock art site dating back 10 000 years. Hiking on top of the Bobbejaan Mountain offers stunning views over the ocean(south north). Stay over or enjoy lunch at the charming Elandsbay Hotel. Elandsbaai is 95km northwest of Piketberg and 70km from Velddrif and this is where the magnificent Verlorenvlei, a natural marsh and sanctuary for 240 bird species, flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

The bay is a prime whale and dolphin viewing venue between July and December when migrating Southern Right whales and Heavyside dolphins can be seen. Throughout the year, playful dolphins can be seen ‘surfing the waves’ and, on occasion, Orcas (killer whales) can also be seen.
