Your stereotypical tropical paradise - a two horse town at the end of a peninsula with a curving beach, high sand dunes and palm trees waving in the breeze. The first morning we saw humpback whales swimming and spouting from the deck of the hostel and later (with the binoculars) doing breaching further out at sea. This was sort of ironic as we'd been to many places along the western and southern coasts of South Africa hoping to see whales then they just pop up unexpectedly here.
After three days of non-stop driving we took it easy with a walk on the beach and up to the local dive centre to arrange some trips. Duncan dove Mantray Reef while I went on a boat for an ocean safari where I saw a baby humpback whale, a pod of humpback dolphins and snorkled with an enormous whale shark. I wouldnt want to have encountered that creature by myself in the sea without first knowing what it was. Actually, not sure I'd want to again either...
