Known as the Gateway to The Garden Route, Witsand is a charming fishing village situated at the mouth of the beautiful Breede River. In the days of sailing ships it was a port, which was used to transport farming produce to Cape Town. Nowadays it's known as South Africa's premier whale nursery, the country's best flat-water kitesurfing spot, and a prime fishing destination.
Waves Of Witsand has a wide range of self-catering options to suit all types of visitors, from kite surfers and international backpackers on a budget, to well-to-do whale watchers in search of luxury. We also cater to fishermen attracted by Witsand's wide variety, which includes river, surf, deep-sea and fly fishing. Witsand is also popular with hikers, bird watchers, cyclists, bikers and those simply looking to relax in the serenity of this exceptionally beautiful place.
