Witsand is
a wonderful, unspoilt seaside resort where you can experience the following
attractions: Safe bathing, Windsurfing, Rock and Surf Angling, Deep Sea
Fishing, Fly Fishing, Snorkel Diving, Spear Fishing, Whale Watching, Kitesurfing
and Waterskiing.
The Breede River starts out
at Witsand and is one of the largest, most navigable rivers in South Africa.
It supports an amazing variety of fish and birdlife. The wealth of fish
in the Breede River naturally attracts fish-eating birds such as the majestic
fish eagle, the osprey, fish owl and kingfisher. The area is also home
to an amazing variety of other birds and water birds.
35 kms inland from Witsand is
the small historic village of Malagas. Malagas was particularly famous for
its "man-drawn" ferry ("die pont") across the Breede River - a nostalgic
relic of a slower, quieter era. This service began in 1860, current model,
1952 - and carried people, vehicles and livestock across the river
every day. Sadly, the pontoon has now been replaced with a motorized ferry.
