Welcome to Witsand : the home of the Southern Right Whale in Southern Africa. This peaceful coastal town is surrounded by the Breede River Estuary and the Indian Ocean. The St Sebastian Bay houses the single largest winter migration population of Southern Right Whales. View them from the coast line at very close proximity or through a local boat based whale watching operator.

If water sport is your passion, this is the place to visit. We offer safe bathing, windsurfing, rock and surf angling, river angling, deep sea fishing, snorkel diving and spear fishing, whale watching, water-skiing, and much much more!

Experience friendly village life that offers food for the soul and a place to simply relax and unwind. Situated at the mouth of the Breede River, Witsand offers 4km of white sandy beaches, surrounded by magnificent species of Cape Fynbos within this Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site.
