Area Info
Franskraal is about two hours’ drive from Cape Town and is a suburb of the fishing village of Gansbaai in the Overberg.
Gansbaai is famous for the Marine 5 and that is due to a small island and outcrop about 5 km offshore. Dyer Island and Geyser Rock is a conservation area and home of the threatened Jackass Penguin, thousands of cormorants and the Cape Fur Seal. White Sharks prefer “Shark Alley” between the two islands to feed on the seals.
Gansbaai has a vibrant marine industry based around the harbour with a fleet of trawlers, subsistence fishermen, a fish factory and abalone farms. The area is equally popular for recreational fishing and has many local recreational beach and offshore fishing enthusiasts.
The budding wine industry in the Elim area on the doorstep of Gansbaai is worth a visit. Interesting nearby small towns can be explored on a circular route through Stanford, Napier, Struisbaai, Elim and Baardskeerdersbos.
