So named in 1601 by Paulus van Caerden, the Dutch navigator, because mussels were the only nourishment he could find, Mossel Bay lies half way between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth in the heart of the Garden Route and is embraces by the warm Indian Ocean.

| This fast growing tourist destination has a fascinating history, north facing beaches, a variety of eco-attractions and is one of the most significant towns in South Africa. |

| The first meeting between inhabitants of Europe and Africa occurred here in 1488 when Bartholomeu Dias came ashore and encountered the ancient Khio-San people. |

| Mossel Bay’s excellent climate, wind protected safe beaches of Santos, De Bakke and Diaz, and good surfing make it a very popular holiday destination and resort. You can visit the waterfront or you can play golf on a variety of magnificent 18-hole courses where you can see the sea from every tee! For the more adventures shark cage diving and bungee jumping is also offered. |
