Area Info
Struisbaai is a sought-after coastal destination, popular for its excellent fishing spots and a wide range of beachside accommodation, from catered to self-catering options. A defining feature of the town is the iconic Hotagterklip cottages, whitewashed former fishermen’s homes at the village entrance that have been lovingly restored. Now mostly used as holiday homes, these national monuments perfectly capture the charm and heritage of the area.
The appeal of Struisbaai lies in its expansive white sandy beaches, stretching to Arniston, and its vibrant water sports scene. Visitors flock here for activities like kayaking, boating, kite surfing, and windsurfing, with easy beach access making it a watersport haven.
Langezandt, a 93-hectare coastal estate on the edge of the De Mond Nature Reserve, embraces this heritage by only allowing homes built in the traditional fishermen’s cottage style. Plans for the estate include a five-hectare interfaith Prayer Park, offering a serene space for reflection.
The town’s harbour, originally built in 1959 and expanded in 1990, is a lively hub for fishing and recreational boats, especially during peak season. Nearby, the restored Anglican Church—a national monument—adds historical charm and serves as a picturesque venue for weddings and local gatherings.
