BEACHES IN GANSBAAI
"Coast of contrasts" is a cliché, but one that is highly applicable to the shores of the Gansbaai Area. As a rule of thumb, the shores to the North of Danger Point (Walker Bay) is where the Southern Right Whales hang out and the shores to the East of Danger Point (Shark Bay) is where the home and breeding grounds of the Great White Shark are. Again, as a rule of thumb, the Walker Bay coast is rocky and dotted with caves and cliffs and the Shark Bay coast exists of pristine never-ending white sand beaches. Checking a rule of thumb at any given time will often prove this rule wrong. Bays with pristine sand beaches can be found along Walker Bay and troops of whales might very well float by your side when you stroll along the sand-beach of Pearly Beach. The several never-ending white sand-beaches between Franskraal and Quoin Point invite for long walks. You will hardly meet a living soul and will mostly have the whole of the beach to yourself (not taking the cape clawless otter, the black oyster catcher and various other shore birds into consideration).
