Struisbaai

Originally a fishing village, the name is derived from the old Dutch word for big. A popular holiday resort and angler's paradise with the longest (14km) unbroken white beach in South Africa, which offers safe swimming. The modest cottages at Hotagterklip serve as a reminder of the community's humble beginnings. The cottages built about 90 years ago, feature thatched roofs, simple end gables and lime-washed walls.

The sweep of the bay at Struisbaai takes in the ecologically important De Mond Nature Reserve (954 ha), which is located at the mouth of the Heuningnes (bees nest) River between Stuisbaai and Arniston. The modest reserve boasts a variety of small antelope and a number of other mammal species, including the rarely seen African lynx.
