Lamberts Bay Things to Do & See

Lamberts Bay conjures up visions of Bird Island, Khoi Rock art, a wealth of seafood and a myriad sun-sea-and-sand activities.
Just two hours’ scenic drive from Cape Town and 60km West of Clanwilliam, this seafood mecca attracts holidaymakers, weekenders and day-trippers. View gannets, cormorants and seals at Bird Island, or watch the massive ‘ships of the sea’ or Southern Right whales that migrate to the bay each year between July and December.

The rapport between human and dolphin is well documented; here you can watch them frolicking in the waves from quite close up, but bear in mind that the legal limit for human contact with a dolphin or whale is a minimum range of 300 meters. After a refreshing day’s hiking or 4×4 trailing, relax at one of our open-air seafood restaurants for a feast of seafood.
