fish hoek beach

Birding in Fish Hoek is a feathery and musical thing. Stay at Seaside Cottages and revel in the vibrant sounds of birdsong filling the air in spring as diverse bird species emerge from their winter hiding places or arrive on their migratory routes from across the globe.

Fish Hoek is home to fantastic and diverse habitats for a vast selection of incredible bird species – ocean birds, rocky shore birds, dune and mountain birds, wetland and riverine species. Fynbos birds and birds of prey join garden birds and waterbirds to forage and sing all year round.

Come birding in Fish Hoek and stay at Seaside Cottages!

Southern Right Whales Return to Cape Town.

Every year in June the ocean is a buzz with activity. The Gentle Giants of the ocean return to our shores once again. These colossal creatures of the ocean have spent the summer feeding in the cold icy waters near the Antarctic and return to our shores every winter to mate.

With summer approaching many people descend on beaches around South Africa.  It is also the season for yellow tail runs in Cape Town.  All the sudden increased activity in the water lures curious sharks closer to shore to see what all the fuss is about.
