The place for the big two, the southern right whales and the great white shark. Gansbaai is the centre of Danger Point Peninsula a coastline that includes De Kelders, Pearly Beach, Baardskeerdersbos, Kleinbaai and Danger Point where HMS Birkenhead sank in 1852 with the loss of 445 lives. The lighthouse at Danger Point can be climbed.
There are rock formations at De Kelders and the excavations as Klipgat Cave provide evidence of human activity some 80 000 years ago. Pearly Beach is a safe swimming beach as is Stanford Cove.
Most of the shark operators leave from Kleinbaai but some do depart out of Gansbaai itself which then means a trip around Danger Point! Gansbaai is 175 km from Cape Town.
