Kommetjie Attractions Western Cape Greater Cape Town

Kommetjie Western Cape Greater Cape Town Information

A Surfer’s ParadiseRenowned for the quality of its crayfish, surfing and bird-life, Kommetjie is a quiet and rustic seaside village nestling between the Slangkop Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean.

Long Beach, which stretches from Kommetjie to Noordhoek, is one of the Peninsula’s most popular surf spots and surf competition venue, although Kommetjie offers numerous other breaks, recommended for experienced surfers only.

The walk to Slangkop Lighthouse (built 1919 and South Africa’s tallest cast iron lighthouse; tours by arrangement) offers excellent bird watching.

Spend a day at Imhoff Farm, with its cheese factory, unusual gifts shops, Cape cuisine, snake and reptile park and camel and horse-rides; or visit the Two Oceans Craft & Culture Centre. This Centre is devoted to the development of local craft, art, cuisine and theatre and reflects the heritage and culture of the Xhosa speaking communities of Masiphumelele and Red Hill as well as the Afrikaans and English speaking communities of Ocean View. Crafters work in traditional thatched rondawels (round buildings) set in a garden landscaped with indigenous flora. A restaurant offers delicious traditional dishes and the Kraal Theatre showcases talent from the area.
