The Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve is situated in the coastal zone, North of Cape Town. Located in the Cape Floristic Kingdom, this Biosphere Reserve is known for its mosaic of diverse ecosystems and habitats which include marine, beach and frontal dune environments, pans, wetlands and rocky Outcrops. Many plant communities have adapted to the harsh environmental conditions (e.g. Elytropappus Rhinocerotis shrub lands, sand plain Fynbos with Phylica Cephalantha or dune thicket with Euclea Racemosa).
Herold’s Bay has held an allure for Holiday makers since time of old. Sketches and photographs in the George Museum tell of ox wagons filled with tents, goods and servants, camping out on the Beach itself. Today the Bay is no less of an attraction and surfing, fishing and swimming, sheltered from the South Easterlies that can blow on the Coast, make this a favorite destination! Only 15 kilometers from George, the bay literally nestles in a sheltered Rocky Cove with a wide stretch of Beach and inviting waters.
Gordons Bay is a picturesque coastal Village, nestled at the foot of the Hottentots Holland Mountains and the False Bay Coast.
