The coastline around Suiderstrand, the end of the road for vehicles, must be one of the most beautiful in our country.

Pristine beaches, interesting rockpools, a marine lagoon, pebbly bays, a historic beach home and archaeological fish traps, are all visual treat that await the coastline hiker of casual walker. Over the past few years avifauna has flourished in this area. Numbers of rare coastal birds, such as the African Black Oyster Catcher, have been after many years of near extinction, now been allowed to increase in numbers and have been removed from the critically threatened Red Data List.
