22. Hermanus

Cape Town's most popular seaside holiday town offers the best whale watching site in the world during the months August to beginning December. The beaches (Voëlklip and Grotto) are fantastic and much warmer than those of Cape Town. A visit to Fernkloof Nature Reserve is worth the while and several hiking trails take you through spectacular Fynbos landscapes. Relax and enjoy the good life!

23. Up the West Coast

Here you will find the charming towns of Yzerfontein, Langebaan, Paternoster and Lambert's Bay. The West Coast's vast openness and unique village atmosphere provide a great escape for the city soul. The area is famous for its cray fish dishes - a feast at one of the outdoor seafood restaurants should be on your priority list. For some of the world's most beautiful flower scenery, be sure to travel up the West Coast during the months of August and September.
