Britannia Bay Property | West Coast

Britannia Bay is a seaside resort located on the Cape West Coast and is a leisurely 90 minute drive from Cape Town.  It is also found just 35 kilometres from Vredenburg, which operates as the commercial centre of this particular region, as well as 45 kilometres from Saldanha Bay.  All this translates into a coastal village that is ideally situated within reach of all the necessary amenities and entertainment centres.

There are stretches of unspoiled beach and the bay area is well protected, with the water slightly warmer than other places along the West Coast.  The cold Benguela current does not enter the bay and it is not unusual to find Southern Right and Humpback Whales going about their daily business.  These magnificent marine creatures can be spotted around Britannia Bay for up to ten months of the year.

Another claim to fame here is that Britannia Bay houses over 200 bird species, which are particularly drawn to the indigenous flowers in spring.  The area is internationally renowned in ornithology circles and the nearby West Coast National Park is one of the world’s most important bird sanctuaries.  Other places worth a visit include the Berg River estuary and the Rocherpan Nature Reserve.  If you are looking for property on the coast then Britannia Bay is sure to fulfill all your seaside dreams.
