You will witness the endless heaps of perfect white pebbles, been washed back and front, creating an amazing natural symphony of music in your ears. A picture-perfect moment at sunset is the shipwreck of the Meisho Maru, a Japanese fishing vessel that stranded in 1982, an awesome sight to see just a few hundred meters down the road from the most Southern tip of Africa. The historic and majestic Waenhuiskrans Caves located near Arniston will utterly amaze you, and it is only 35 kilometers from Struisbaai!
