Walker Bay & Plaatjieskraal Trip - 4x4 Beach Driving, What an Experience!

Walker Bay: Walker Bay Nature Reserve lies on the south-western Cape coast, just east of Hermanus and covers about 4 300 ha. The reserve comprises five coastal areas lying between Hermanus and Die Dam near Struisbaai. The largest area, known as Walker Bay, stretches from the Klein River estuary to De Kelders at Gansbaai. This section is about 1 000 ha in size and has a coastline of 17km featuring a long beach, known as Die Plaat, with white sands and rocky limestone outcrops to the east. Immediately north-west of the reserve lies the scenic Klein River lagoon which, at times, flows into the sea. The northern parts of the reserve consist of stabilised dunefields. There are significant records of Middle Stone Age people (from about 85 000 to 65 000 years ago) occupying the Klipgat Cave in the eastern section of the reserve. There is also evidence that during the Late Stone Age (about 2 000 years ago), Khoisan people inhabited this site and lived off the plants, fish, shellfish and game in the area. Plaatjieskraal: An abandoned seaside village 250 km from Cape Town, South Africa. Totally threatened by encroaching sand dunes, the village had to be abandoned.
