Snoek are caught and the harbour is a vibrant, bustling hive of activity, as the fish are sold straight off the boats. A popular tourist destination, particularly during the spring wildflower season. Ancient granite hills and boulders form a backdrop to the village and offer stunning views of the bay and across to the Piketberg mountains. From August to November, the Southern Right Whales come in to the bay to calve, and can be viewed from the shore all around the bay.
