Betty's Bay mountain and sea meander

Join us for an exhilarating 12 km circular hike at Betty's Bay where the majestic Kogelberg Mountains meet the stunning coastline. Betty's Bay is a small holiday town situated on the Overberg coast of South Africa's Western Cape province. It is located 100 km from Cape Town beneath the Kogelberg Mountains on the scenic Clarence Drive between Pringle Bay and Kleinmond.

This grade 2A circular hike, following coastal and mountain trails, is about 12 km long with an accumulated elevation of 160 meters and requires moderate fitness. A 4km beach walk will provide an opportunity to have a swim at Betty's Bay Main Beach. Please remember to bring your swimsuit.

Basic agenda:
From On the Edge Restaurant's parking bay, we follow the coastline eastwards to Betty's Bay Main Beach and Dawidskraal River. Our first break is at the beautiful Dawids Kraal Picnic site under Milkwood trees along the river that has the same name. After this break, we continue all along the riverbank towards Disakloof Youth Camp and join up with a contour path below Voorberg called Rod's Trail. This path leads to a waterfall that might be dry by this time of the year and continues further to a ruin called Marie Voghts Rondawel. At the end of Rod's trail, we cross Clarence Drive to enter the residential area of Betty's Bay. From Disa Road we take a shortcut back to Betty's Bay West and follow the coastline back to the carpark.

After the hike, we will surely have refreshments at On the Edge Restaurant. Visiting the Stony Point Nature Reserve a short distance from this restaurant is definitely worthwhile. A small entrance fee is applicable at Stony Point Nature Reserve. Stony Point Nature Reserve is home to a unique colony of African Penguins. Stony Point offers the public the chance to see African Penguins up close, via the boardwalk through the colony, which allows the public to observe the penguins go about their daily activities in their natural habitat, without disturbing or disrupting them.
