Jacobsbaai | West Coast | Western Cape

The quaint village of Jacobsbaai, situated midway between Vredenburg and Saldanha Bay, is an isolated, traditional Cape West Coast hamlet.

Strict building restrictions in the town have ensured the preservation of the breathtaking 2 kilometres of coastline, offering 7 individual bays surrounded by picturesque lime washed houses set against the backdrop of an azure blue sea.

Jacobsbaai is well known for its abundance of seafood and the magnificent dislay of wild flowers that transform the lanscape of this West Coast paradise every year from late winter to spring. (July to September).

Most of the roads are gravel roads which keeps traffic at a snail’s pace which has resulted in a peaceful little resort town, ideal for a weekend getaway or relaxing holiday.

Jacobsbaai’s seven individual bays are Kwaaibaai which is popular with surfers, Jacobsbaai, Smalbaai and Moerie se baai which are great for launching boats from and Bamboesbaai and Toothrock are used for diving, fishing and cray-fishing.

For water sports enthusiasts, boating, fishing and diving are the main activities. For hikers there are coastal hiking trails and dune riding is a favourite with the more adventurous. For the less adventurous, Jacobsbaai is popular for whale watching and bird-lovers will be rewarded with an abundance of birdlife found in this unspoilt resort town.
