Whales abound in the waters off Noordhoek and Fish Hoek beaches (during season) and sunbathers are spoiled for choice with the many beaches just a few minutes away. Noordhoek boasts a community of diverse talents and cultures and has its very own "Art Route". The Noordhoek Farm Village captures the essence of the village with art and craft shops and home bake stores between the oaks. Cozy pubs and restaurants compliment this peaceful, country village and offer visitors a chance to meet some of the local residents. The area is rich in fauna and flora. A stroll on Noordhoek beach, or better still a ride on horse back at sunset is an experience not to be missed.
