L’essentiel en un coup d’œil

Whale watching – Hermanus is considered one of the best places in the world for land-based whale watching. At Gearing Point and along the Cliff Path you can enjoy impressive sightings between June and November.
Beaches – Grotto Beach is part of a kilometre-long sandy beach in Walker Bay. There are numerous direct access points for walks, but you should pay attention to currents and tides.
Food and drink – In town you’ll find supermarkets, cafés and restaurants serving local produce. Stock up here if you’re planning excursions.
Safety – Hermanus is considered a safe and pleasantly manageable base. After dark, avoid side streets that are little frequented.
Best time to travel – Between June and November is peak season for whale watching. Even outside this period the region offers plenty of tranquillity, wide views and close-up nature moments.
