Private Sale of Prime Sea View Land for Development next to Cape Town, South Africa

The coming of the whales to the Cape Overberg coastline every year between June and November, not only creates a stir, but brings to our shores a large, intelligent and remarkable giant of the sea and the only mammal to have adapted to life in the open oceans. Whales, including the Southern Right Whale and less commonly the Bryde’s (pronounced ‘broodess’) and the Humpback Whale, are frequently sited along the Cape Overberg Coast from Stony Point near Betty's Bay , along the cliff paths of Kleinmond , Onrus, Walker Bay, the De Hoop Nature Reserve and Witsand .

These gentle giants spend summer feeding around Antarctica and then migrate thousands of miles to our waters where the sheltered bays of the South African coast provide perfect refuge to mate and calve. Betty's Bay named after the daughter of a property developer, was originally the site of a whaling station that operated until 1930. Part of the stations jetty as well as the ramp on which carcasses were winched ashore can be seen from Stony Point. Stony Point  is home to a colony of Jackass Penguins, one of two shore based breeding colonies in Southern Africa.
