Activities in & around Struisbaai
Struisbaai’s most popular attraction is the phenominal fishing opportunities it has to offer. The town used to be a small fishing village and has now turned into one of South Africa’s best kept secrets as a fishing destination. Struisbaai is a great family destination and is targeted by recreational anglers.
In the Western Cape Region Struisbaai is highly regarded as the capital of nearshore fishing. Stretching for more than 200km to the south is a long and shallow part of the continent shelf that’s known as the Agulhas Bank. These waters are home to a wide variety of pelagic and bottom feeding species, making them a perfect choice for any angler looking for that great catch. The deep sea fishing in this part of South Africa is absolutely outstanding, and well worth the invested time and effort.
