Background Information Betty’s Bay Betty's Bay is the jewel of the Fynbos Coast - only 80 kilometres from Cape Town International Airport on the magnificent Clarence Drive from Gordon's Bay. Magnificent white beaches, fresh water lakes and coastal mountains give this village a unique character. The peacefulness of the Betty's Bay, the large open spaces and the clean Atlantic Ocean draws people from all walks of life. Hiking, mountain biking, surfing, swimming, fishing and just relaxing in the sun, are the main activities. So, if you want to escape the madness of the cities, this is the place to refresh your soul with BBT: Betty's Bay Therapy! Betty's Bay is situated along the scenic Clarence Drive Route. Formerly, a whaling station, is now home to the beautiful Harold Porter National Botanical Gardens (+27 (0)28-2729311) , situated within the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve (+27 (0)28-2715657 ), the first and only Biosphere in South Africa to be proclaimed by United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The Betty's Bay area is not only renowned for its magnificent floral kingdom, but it's also home to one of only three breeding colonies on the mainland in South Africa. The Jackass Penguin Colony at Stony Point can be viewed from a viewing platform and the penguins are best seen in the late afternoon when they return from their day's fishing. An interesting fact is the Speniscus demersus, (African Penguin) is one of 18 species worldwide, and the only penguin specie that breeds around African coasts. In Betty's Bay at Stony Point, the remains of the Old Whaling station, which was in operation from 1912 to 1930, can still be seen. In 1976 South Africa signed the treaty to ban whaling and the big mammals are making a come back. Each year, Southern Right and Humpback whales migrate into our coastal waters to calve and nurse their young. These gentle giants provide unsurpassed whale watching opportunities between May and December. Stony Point is known to be a local and tourist hotspot for land-based whale watching (+27 (0)28-2715657).
