The West Coast - Eland's Bay
The best left hand break…
This is a surfer's (and beach lover's) paradise with the best left hand break in S.A. according to Surf bum Geoff. Elands also has some very fine seafood and lots of kreef*. In fact, a while back millions (and I mean millions) of kreef crawled out of the sea in a desperate attempt to escape a bad Red Tide (which starves them of oxygen) only to die on the beaches. It was an unforgettable spectacle which made environmentalists weep as they desperately tried to loads the creatures in bulldozer tips and transport them to healthier sea. Ask the locals about it - someone will have pictures. Very freaky stuff.
Surf report.
For surfing enthusiasts, Eland's Bay is a place of pilgrimage. The majestic, fast moving waves which roll into the bay in summer when the south easter blows are world famous. Surfers can work into the sea from a headland to catch the waves early and enjoy a long ride.
Check out Baboon Point and the Elands Bay Cave which houses San paintings that date back 15 000 years.
Excellent camping is available right on the beachfront.
