A fresh ocean breeze cuts across the cliff path as the group steps away from the old harbour, coffee steam mingling with sea spray. The tour threads between low sandstone bluffs and tidy streets, pausing at cafés, family-run shops and a seafood counter where abalone and biltong are offered in tasting portions. Along this 1.5 km route the cliffs demand your attention; whales often answer with a tail or breath, turning the shoreline into a living theater.
