Tucked in the shadow of the Hottentots' Holland Mountains, the sunny holiday village of Gordon's Bay has a small harbour and is a popular angling and boating resort.

The letters 'G.B.' written in stone on the hillside actually refer to General Botha, the training college for merchant navy officers, and not to this town, which was named after Colonel Gordon, commander of the Cape garrison in the late 18th century.

The high, twisting coastal road leading from Gordon's Bay to Cape Hangklip is one of the most spectacular anywhere, and with its new coat of tarmac is an absolute pleasure to drive. Not only does the route offer wondrous vistas out to sea, across sweeping bays and threateningly down into turbulent sapphire shallows, but from July to November you will undoubtedly see the awe-inspiring sight of gigantic whales splashing around.
