IN THIS ISSUE

ONCE you drive over Sir Lowry’s Pass, you have entered The Cape Overberg which stretches from Grabouw and the magical Elgin Valley which leads to The Whale Coast and eventually to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa. The area’s pristine beaches are ideal for swimming and surfing, but more than just sun, sea and sand, delightful culinary experiences await our visitors, accompanied by fine local wines. Apart from being considered the best whale watching area in South Africa, if not the world, it is fast gaining a reputation as an adventure area with, among others, scenic hikes and some of the world’s best mountain biking trails. It is also an area steeped in history. In this issue, we have focused on old gems, new gems and hidden gems… guiding you to enjoy the best the Overberg has to offer.
