You could try some fishing on the Breede River, recognised as the best in South Africa. Fish such as cob, spotted grunter and garrick are regularly caught in the estuary. A wide variety of water sports make this a popular weekend retreat and holiday destination. Take a drive to the De Hoop Nature Reserve or to the Malagas via the Pont which is the only hand-drawn pontoon in the country. Cruise up the Breede River. The area offers excellent bird watching and is an important breeding ground for the rare Blue Crane and the endangered African Black Oystercatcher.
In the winter months between May and November the bay becomes South Africa\\\'s \\\'Whale nursery\\\' when the Southern Right whales arrive to mate and calve. Official helicopter survey statistics has shown that up to 94 whales including 43 calves can be spotted in the bay on one day!
