Why it's worth your time
A whitewashed fishing village that feels frozen in time. The beach is defined by its massive sea cave and the historic, lime-washed cottages of Kassiesbaai.
What we love
The sea cave accessible at low tide.
What to know
The village is remote; stock up on supplies before arriving.
