Mariner's WharfThe focal point of the town, is the harbour complex called Mariner's Wharf. (Buy yourself fish and chips at the Seafood Bistro and enjoy it on the harbour wall - yummy!)
The Hout Bay Yacht Club is situated in the harbour and provides moorings for both recreational, fishing and sailing boats.
From here you can do game fishing, sea kayaking, sunset champagne cruises to the V&A Waterfront and boat trips to Seal Island. The Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing contest The Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing contest is held on the other side of the Sentinel mountain, at the famous Dungeons.
