As a tourist destination it’s known for its white-washed fishermen’s cottages and for lobster. The coastline of jagged cliffs and white boulders makes it home to one of the most beautiful beaches on the West Coast of South Africa. Tourist and commercial activities include deep sea fishing for snoek, farming for abalone, mussels and oysters, and pilchard canning.
