Fish Hoek Travel Guide

Fish Hoek, flanked by Northern Bay and further along St James, has one of the safest swimming beaches in the Cape Metropole. Hobie-cat sailing, snorkeling and paddle-skiing are favourite water sports. You can watch the fisherman catch fish with nets in their wooden rowing boats, visit Sunny Cove where the dolphins play and whales are seen during spring or take a walk to Peers Cave, famous for its 12 000 year-old Fish Hoek Man.

As a coastal suburb of Cape Town, Fish Hoek is popular as a residence for commuters and holidaymakers alike. The traditional industries of 'trek' fishing and angling coexist with the leisure pursuits of surfing, sailing and sunbathing.
