Mossel Bay is a coastal town situated along the southern coast of the Western Cape province Mossel Bay, situated at the beginning of the Garden Route, suits both adventure enthusiasts and those seeking relaxation. Its captivating beaches, clear waters, and diverse outdoor activities cater to relaxation and adventure seekers, with options like shark cage diving, wreck diving, surfing, and snorkelling.
Mossel Bay holds the title of the Garden Route's adventure hub, offering thrilling activities like Great White Shark diving and sandboarding. Beyond its excitement, the town holds a historical significance, with Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias arriving in 1488. The bay served as a stop for ships in need of supplies and features South Africa's earliest "post office," a milkwood tree where sailors would leave letters for incoming crews. Its easygoing backpacker vibe and Mediterranean-like charm create a laid-back atmosphere.
