Still Bay in the Western Cape of South Africa is a happy informal holiday village divided by a large river mouth.
Still Bay is ideal
as a holiday center with a fine swimming beach, excellent boating on the
river and fishing in the estuary or on the coast.
These attractions
together with an equable climate have lured people here for centuries.
Prehistoric man found it a convenient place to live having worked out an
ingenious and easy way of catching fish. He maneuvered boulders to form
low barricades between high and low water marks. At high tide fish swam in
to feed among the rocks and as the tide receded were trapped in great
numbers. These fish traps are still evident in Still Bay today, as are shell middens
where waste was discarded forming a mountain of shells.
