A very corrugated dirt road between Kleinzee & Port Nolloth
We traveled on a very corrugated road from Kleinzee to Port Nolloth. Although the locals travel these roads daily, It felt as if we were shaking to pieces! I was relieved to reach the tarred road…
Mc Dougall’s Bay
At Mc Dougall’s Bay we enjoyed the white sandy beaches and realized that once again we found another West Coast gem…
treasures of many years…
This house belongs to a local diver. A personal museum full of diving apparel and equipment.
planted for a reason!
The caravan park on the beach has plenty of hedged windbreaks to protect you from the “South Easter” .

the museum
The museum building dates back to the era of Tin Roofs and Brooke Lace. There are a few other buildings in town of the same design. I loved all the different structures and could relive the past…how awesome it must have been!

The boardwalk continues for miles and makes the beach easy accessible.

At the harbour we saw a few fishing trawlers and diamond dredgers. It was an absolute pleasure and a dream come true to experience the daily activities of the locals in this coastal town.
