For over 200 years, the small village of Arniston on the Indian Ocean in the Western Cape was a full-fledged fishing village. Due to depleted fish stocks, the focus today is more on tourism. Arniston is now a national monument, but it still harbors a small but vibrant community.
The village is named after one of the many shipwrecks off the coast: the British ship Arniston, which ran aground in 1815.
Be sure to stroll past the whitewashed thatched cottages along the Kassies Bay coast, chat with the cheerful locals, and enjoy the delicious seafood and matching wines at the local eatery, "Mien's Tea Garden." These will be the highlights of your cultural and culinary walking experience.
