Market With A View

Hermanus has a wonderful informal or flea market, where traders set up stalls that sell anything from art to African masks to jewellery to clothes. Located at Gearing's Point, it is arguably the open air market set in the most beautiful place on earth - right on the cliffs, with stunning uninterrupted views of Walker Bay all round. Some of its most frequent visitors are the Southern Right whales, who come to frolic in the deep waters off the cliffs. Young an old take part in the selling and even manufacturing, transferring age old crafts to new generations.
