Herold's Bay

A beautiful place.

The beautiful, secluded bay called Herold's Bay has held an allure for holiday makers since time of old. Sketches and photographs in the George museum tell of ox wagons filled with tents, goods and servants, camping out on the beach itself. Today the bay is no less of an attraction and surfing, fishing and swimming, sheltered from the south easterlies that can blow on the coast, make this a favourite destination. Only 15 kilometres from George, the bay literally nestles in a sheltered rocky cove with a wide stretch of beach and inviting waters.

The little village of Herold's Bay has short of 100 homes, making it something of a hamlet in much the same way that Llandudno in Cape Town has managed to retain its village appeal. Certainly this isn't a humming spot. If you're after bright lights and the clatter of the city, then Herold's Bay isn't the holiday for you. But for those after a complete break and the chance to unwind, Herold's Bay will not disappoint."
