A rustic hidden gem with amazing food
An centuries-old restored homestead surrounded by ancient milkwood trees provides the scenic setting on the other side of the lagoon. You will need to drive through Stanford and along the dirt road to get to it, but the cheese platter and the serene setting will make it worth your while.

Parks & Nature
Fernkloof Nature Reserve
An endless strip of white beach perfect for long walks. This is where the lagoon meets the ocean, so if it is high tide and the river mouth is open, you may not be able to cross, but the lagoon does provide a sheltered place to swim.
