Gordons Bay

Gordons Bay is a seaside village (30km from Cape Town) on the False Bay coast with the Hottentots Holland mountains as a backdrop.

The town is well known for its safe beaches.
Bikini Beach, next to the harbour, has been awarded Blue Flag status.
This means that it is safe and clean and adheres to international safety and other tourist standards.

This is also the starting point of the scenic coastal road to Rooiels and Kleinmond, Clarence Drive (R44).

Die Steenbraspoele is net buite Gordonsbaai op die pad na Kleinmond.

Against the mountains you will see the letter GB with an anchor between them.
This used to be the initials of the naval training college situated against the mountain - General Botha Training College.

What to do

Swim and tan at Main beach or Bikini beach
Visit the Bikini Beach bookshop and the shellshop next door. I love walking around in the bookshop.
Go for a walk on the harbour wall.
Go fishing on the harbour wall.
Approximately 3km from the harbour on Clarence Drive, you'll find a turnoff to your left. This road takes you to a lookout point with the False Bay coast below you. Nice!
Visit Monkey Town and see baboons, lemurs and chimpanzees.
Grab a pub lunch and beer at Talla's Tavern
