Overview

Struisbaai is a historic fishing village near Cape Agulhas, renowned for having the longest natural fishing jetty in South Africa. The long white sand beach offers excellent kite conditions with reliable wind and relatively sheltered waters thanks to an offshore reef. The village is authentic and peaceful, with stingrays regularly feeding in the harbor.
