Wow, Walk Bay Nature Reserve is a hidden gem! 🌊 I recently spent a morning exploring the reserve and was blown away by the stunning coastal scenery, beautiful beaches, and diverse wildlife. The walking trails offered breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding landscape. One of the highlights was exploring the fascinating sea caves, carved out by the relentless waves. The sound of the sea pounding against the rocks was mesmerizing! Spotted some amazing birds and even caught a glimpse of a whale (or two!) in the distance. The reserve is well-maintained and easy to navigate, making it perfect for families, hikers, and nature lovers alike. Highly recommend!

A great nature reserve where you may stil drive next to the coastline and enjoy the magnificent views. We entered from the Stanford side.

Beautiful!! Short walk to the caves, with little enclosed beach. on the other side you will also find a beautiful stretch of beach. Further walks available but not shaded, so need to go early. Views were stunning. (not well signposted, at the parking lot, go down the stairs, cross the viewing platform and continue left across the sand, over some rocks and into caves)

Even though this reserve is close to Stanford and Gansbaai, it has a wonderful feeling of remoteness. Great birdlife, long white sandy beaches and the chance to see seals, dolphins and even whales in the season. A peaceful haven, well worth a visit for nature lovers.

Didn't see the entire Reserve, just visited the southern shore to see the famous Klipgat Caves but it was clean and well maintained, and entry was free. Not enough signage from the main road past De Kelder so struggled to find the entrance but once we were in it was lovely.

A beautiful piece of coastline. Abundant bird life to photograph. Sea temp was pleasant, but beware the rip currents. The Eastern side of the reserve has De Kelders archeology sites, a must visit
