Kleinmond

Bounded by the Palmietberge to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, Kleinmond nestles along the rocky coastline between the Palmiet Lagoon in the west and the Kleinmond Lagoon in the east. The name is derived from the fact that it is at a 'small mouth' of the Bot River lagoon and marsh. Kleinmond was traditionally a resort for farmers as their annual summer holiday retreat, then in 1948 a highway was constructed and the town developed into a popular holiday resort.

Covering 650 ha, the Kleinmond Coastal Nature Reserve extends from the coast to the fynbos-covered mountain slopes north of the town, and provides protection to more than 1 200 plant species and some 40 other tree species. The reserve adjoins the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve often referred to as being the "heart of the fynbos kingdom" and is criss-crossed by a network of trails. Kleinmond Lagoon offers safe swimming and canoeing, while the sandy beach off Sandown Bay can be accessed via a footbridge.
