what to do | where to stay | where to eat | services | home Pringle Bay is a quaint seaside village referred to as "real paradise country". Situated along the scenic Clarence Drive Route, it forms part of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, the first and only Biosphere in South Africa to be proclaimed by United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). Weekends will see many divers, rubber ducks and kayaks in the bay catching their quota of crayfish in one of the great diving spots for this activity.Swimming in the river mouth is warm and safe for the toddlers with the older kids preferring the more robust boarding in the waves of false bay. There are a number of great hikes in this area ranging from short 3hr trips up to a two day excursion. The Palmiet River walk, starting 100m or so on the Betty's Bay side of the bridge, is a good introduction. The walk is an easy three hour walk up the river. Permits are required. During the day they can be purchased at the offices at the start of the trail. A 5-6hr mountain bike route starts at the same point. Things to do: Harold Porter Botanical Gardens, Kogelberg Nature Reserve, Penguins at Stony Point, Golf, Palmiet River, Sandboarding in Betty's Bay, local art / craft shops and markets, Wine Tasting Some great restaurants are available from seafood to pasta!
