Wilderness

Wilderness, with its long stretch of sandy white beaches, is a fisherman's and surfer's haven. A small and intimate town, it exudes a laid-back, holiday atmosphere.

The area has a unique system of lakes, rivers and wetlands very close to the sea. The coastal road runs along a narrow strip of land between the Indian Ocean and the chain of lakes, one of which reputedly contains a mermaid.

This is no new legend: ancient Bushman paintings in the mountains depict a woman with a fish's tail. She doesn't seem to interfere, however, with the present day pleasures of boating, yachting, swimming, fishing and canoeing, which are delightful ways to explore the tranquility of the national park area and its abundant birdlife.
