Fish Hoek - Western Cape South Africa

Fish Hoek is a small fishing village situated in the Western Cape of South Africa. It lies along the False Bay coast road from Simon’s Town to Cape Town. Most of the residents of Fish Hoek are retired but it still has a busy main street with market stalls competing with shoppers on the pavements. The long sandy Fish Hoek beach is one of the safest in the Cape for bathing and body boarding and when the wind picks up, hobie-cats and windsurfers take to the waves. From July to October whales come into Fish Hoek bay and loll around just 50 metres from the shore in preparation for mating and giving birth. Huge schools of dolphins are also sometimes seen.

Fish Hoek - Western Cape South Africa To prohibit the raucous thirsty sailors stopping here for a drink on their way to Simon’s Town navy base, the original 1818 farm was only granted on the condition that there was no public wine house. One hundred and eighty years on, there is still no liquor store in Fish Hoek and any pub that opens up seems to go out of business very quickly due to lack of customers.
