As
a coastal suburb of Cape Town, Fish Hoek is popular as a residence for
commuters, retired people and holidaymakers alike. The traditional industries
of 'trek' fishing and angling coexist with the leisure pursuits of surfing,
sailing and sunbathing.
The
beach is about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) long and quite flat, and the bay
is protected from the currents and stronger surf in the rest of False Bay.
Swimming is allowed along the entire beach with lifesavers on duty during
the summer peak season, and body surfing, boogie boarding, wind surfing
and kayaking are popular. The water is far warmer than the Atlantic Seaboard,
averaging between just under 17 °C (63 °F) annually (similar to
Northern Mediterranean Waters like Monte Carlo or Nice, and peaking at
24 °C (75 °F) in Summer months. Restaurants and children's play
areas are situated at the southern end, and a path known as Jager Walk
(also spelled Jaeger or Jagger, and known locally as the Cat Walk) runs
past rock pools on the southern side of the bay. Shark spotters are often
on duty, especially during the summer tourist season.
The
northern parts of the beach are less developed, and are used by Trek fishermen
to launch their boats and clean nets. Seasonal visits from Southern Right
Whales occur from June to November each year. |
