What a lovely town to enjoy a holiday at! Whatapp 0829380380 for accommodation at Anchors Away

WITSAND - Come and indulge yourselves in a treasure of exciting experiences, provided by nature. Port Beaufort is situated on the banks of the river and Witsand on the seaward side, where the river meets the mighty Indian Ocean. The village offers the best of both worlds with sea and river activities to enjoy. Witsand is known as The Whale Nursery of South Africa. This is due to the largest concentration of Southern Right Whales that are found in St. Sebastian Bay each year. In 2013, an aerial survey revealed that 82 new calves were born – the highest total ever! It is nothing unusual to see up to 70 whales in the bay at one time. No licenses for boat based whale watching – as there are various look-out points from which to view and photograph the Whales.

Long stretches of pristine beaches are complimented by wonderful displays of Cape fauna & flora on the short walking trails. Bird life abounds all around and includes the Black Oyster Catcher, and our national bird, the Blue Crane. The wide estuary of the Breede River is another natural wonder. Witsand is rich in historical value about the Barry family that opened up this area to commerce with a number of ships, the best known being the “Kadie”. The Barry Memorial Church built in 1859, is still in use today.

The bay and estuary provide a paradise for kite-boarders, snorkeling and SUP on flat water and wide open spaces – the Breede River is a popular location in the summer season. Fishing is a tradition in Witsand and the stories of those that were stranded or lost, are often a feature of entertaining evenings with the locals.

The Witsand Municipal Caravan and Camping Resorts are popular options for December holidays.

Witsand is also home to Pili Pili Adventure Centre, Breede River Lodge, River Breeze Restaurant, The Anchorage Beachfront Restaurant & Bar, Barry’s Holiday Accommodation, Ellie’s On Main, Beach House Witsand, Spasie Restaurant, Whale Cliff Accommodation, Witsand Remote Locations Glamping and Koffie N Kletz.

We invite the traveller community to explore the hidden gems of Hessequa by visiting Witsand this holiday season.

This is the beautiful town where we have our holiday home, Anchors Away.

WITSAND - Witsand is one of the most authentic coastal destinations within South Africa as the town is home to both the Indian Ocean and the Breede River.

The Breede River is a majestic stretch, which is renowned for its adventure water-based activities such as canoeing, kitesurfing and boat surfing. The river - offering a playground for all ages - is also a mecca for fishing.
