St Helena Bay is a beautiful, tranquil town on the West Coast in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Nicknamed by locals as Agterbaai, it is located on the shore of the bay from which it derives its name and is approximately 150 km north of Cape Town. It surrounds the towns of Vredenburg and Paternoster, and is across the bay from Laaiplek.
Discovered by Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama in 1497, the bay was named Bahia de Santa Helena (Portuguese for its current name) after Saint Helena, a devout, influential Christian and mother of Constantine I.
St Helena Bay is one of the world's prime fishing centres. The waters teem with marine life which provides the livelihood for its coastal inhabitants. It is home to Sandy Point Harbor, one of two ports to the bay. An abundance of snoek and pelagic fish is found here, as well as an endangered species of rock lobster and crayfish.
