Mossel Bay is the first place at which Bartolomeus Dias landed after rounding the Cape in 1488. One of the port"s historic attractions is the famous Post Office Tree, so called because in 1500 a sailor left a message in a navigator"s boot in a milkwood tree. Today you can still post a letter at this spot. The Bartolomeus Dias Museum Complex consists of historic buildings with exhibits of shells, local and maritime history, dominated by an impressive life-size replica of Bartolomeus Dias caravel. From this Point there are spectacular views of waves crashing against the rocky shoreline and you can see dolphins. Mossel Bay is the best place for whale watching during August and November.
The St. Blaize Lighthouse has been a beacon for navigators since 1864 and is one of two manned lighthouses on the South African coast today. Mossel Bay"s excellent climate, wind protected, safe beaches and good surfing conditions make it a very popular holiday resort. In addition you can play golf on a course where you can see the sea from every tee, tennis, bowls, squash, deep-sea fishing, shark caging, (famous for Great White Sharks) or a pleasure trip to Seal Island. There are a number of restaurants offering the specialties of our seaside town, as well as the Pinnacle Point Golf Estate and Casino and the well-known Admirals restaurant. (Buffet - 102 dishes) Naturally Mossel Bay as part of the Garden Route is the ideal base from which to explore the surrounding areas such as Oudtshoorn for their Ostrich farms and famous Cango Caves.
