Gearing's Point

Beautiful view. Great shoreside spot for whale sightings. Walkway to explore further. Love the statues on display. Parking can get full quickly over weekends & peak season.

Spectacular views Dine on the rocks . Restaurant below via steps. Breathtaking

Gearing’s Point is a lovely place to walk and take in the ocean views. We were lucky to see a few whales, though they were a bit far out, binoculars definitely help! The lookout decks are well maintained and it’s a peaceful place to just sit and enjoy the sea. Worth a visit, especially during whale season!

A rocky area of Hermanus famous for the whale watching, paved area perched above the sea,beautiful scenery, a few meters from the restaurants, if you're in luck you will see whales seals and dolphins, resident whales pass by all year, and mothers and youngsters are often seen during the winter months

Stunning views, watch the whales 🐋. Plenty of good eateries Spotlesly clean

I recently visited Gearing Point, and honestly, I found the place a bit boring. At the end of the road leading to the reserve, there's a barrier where you have to pay an entrance fee of 40 Rand to get in. I went ahead and paid the fee, hoping for something interesting inside. However, once inside, the experience didn't really meet my expectations. There wasn't much to see or do, and overall, the place felt quite dull. I wouldn’t personally recommend it unless you’re really interested in penguins or have extra time to spare

Wonderful view over Walker Bay and an easy walk to most of Hermanus's best coffee shops and restaurants. The best art work from the annual art festival is also on view here throughout the year
