its a beautiful actually with a lot going for it, I've been coming here for ages, its awesome.
surrounded by nature reserve on all sides, with no room for expansion, its a real little holiday town, with one little shop, two bars and one restaurant.
it also has a world renowned surf spot called seal point, with beautiful waves running for ages. the first time this spot came to international light was in the 1966 surf documentary, the endless summer.
the village, (and i call it a village because of its small size), maybe house round about 30 permanent residents and about 250 residents during the peak holiday seasons.
its an amazing place to get away from it all.
now the towns fragile ecosystem has recently come under attack, by eskoms plans to build a nuclear power plant at thyspunt. now it will be about 30km's away from us, but the economic impact of it will be massive.
now the local community has really pulled together to stop this and it looks like its working...
J-bay not too far from us has really pulled finger with this, with many campaigns sponsored by big companies running.
if any1 is ever looking for a great holiday spot, to chill and get away from it all, check this place out. its awesome.
