Mossel Bay is home to two magnificent golf courses.

Mossel Bay Golf Club is only 2 km away from Go 2 Boa, and is an easy walk and very playable from tee to green for all golfers, even if you have just taken up the game. The beautiful views of the Indian Ocean or the Springbuck roaming on the course might distract you, but they will most definitely leave you with lasting memories.

Pinnacle Point Golf Estate, one of the top golf courses in South Africa, is a spectacular masterpiece and just 6 km away. Uniquely defined by two intimate, secluded beaches along four kilometres of breathtaking coastline, Pinnacle Point is located on four hundred hectares of prime land, of which one hundred hectares is a nature reserve.

You’ll find everything you need and more in the restaurants in Mossel Bay, pubs and coffee shops – from fine dining to traditional game lodge feasts, exotic cuisine and family dinners. And seafood too, of course: Mossel Bay is famous for its seafood, particularly the wild coastal oysters (Crassostrea margaritacea) for which the Garden Route is justifiably famous.

Go 2 Boa list right in the middle of the the Mossel Bay Waterfront, and has over ten restaurants within walking distance (less than 1 km), including Kaai 4, Oyster Bar, London Bus Fish & Chips, The Marbled Wagyu, The Sea Gypsy Cafe, La Peron, Butcher's Crossing Grill House, Cafe Gannet and Blue Oyster Cocktail Bar.

There are many activities to choose from in Mossel Bay. Mossel Bay is not only known for its rich history and pristine blue flag beaches but also for the great adventure opportunities and the lifelong memories that are made here. The adventure activities are bucket list stuff because of its amazing location. With 320 sunny days a year, you are definitely spoiled for choice.

So, if you are an adrenalin junkie or just have a more adventurous spirit, you will find plenty of options. Choose from surfing, Shark Cage Diving, sky-diving, heli-flips, scuba or deep-sea fishing. Maybe you like to be land-based, then sandboarding, quad biking, horseriding, mountain biking, hiking or a safari might interest you more.

Mossel Bay has many great biking destinations available.

Bonniedale Farm offers a variety of single technical tracks for moderate to fit riders. Bonniedale is also the access point for the Attakwaskloof (follow the Attakwaskloof to the Robinsons Pass and back = 40 km), and the starting point for various 2-day routes.

The well-marked Rooster Trails at Bells Mountain Inn offer a range of different walks and rides with panoramic views. A number of longer forestry trails are also available in the area. The hotel hosts the annual Eight Bells Enduro in August.

Jakkalsvlei Private Cellar offers both gentle and challenging routes. Picnickers are also welcome, and wine tasting is available. Jakkalsvlei hosts the annual Jakkalsvlei Mountain Bike Challenge in October.

Mossel Bay’s world-famous Oystercatcher Trail is an icon amongst South Africa’s luxury hiking trails. This is whale-watching and dolphin-watching heaven. And birding heaven, too.

But, of course, it’s not the only hiking trail in the area. Mossel Bay is home to some spectacular hiking trails catering from the extreme hiker to easy-going Sunday hikes with the family, including Wolwedans Dam Hike, Eight Bells Rooster Trails and the St Blaize Hiking Trail.

The Great Brak River Village Walk is a very easy 5km circular walk around the Great Brak River estuary. Start close to the library on Long St and head over the bridge in town. The path takes about an hour and returns across another bridge just downstream. Watch out for cormorants and other birdlife around the river and estuary.

All along the Mossel Bay shore there are beaches sprinkled among the rocks. Even at the very Point of Cape Saint Blaize there is a sandy channel set between two rocky ridges that has long been treated by locals as the town swimming pool – known as the “Poort”.

Mossel Bay have five WESSA blue flag beaches. We are very proud and happy that Santos beach, De Bakke beach, Hartenbos beach, Glentana and Klein Brakrivier beach are all part of this prestigious group of beaches in South Africa.

The greater Mossel Bay is home to no less than sixty kilometres of long, sandy beaches as well as beach-going weather throughout the year. There is also plenty of beach stuff to do in Mossel Bay like swimming, sailing, surfing, fishing and walking. Feel like doing nothing at all? That’s what everyone likes best at the beach, especially on beaches like ours.
