Lappiesbaai at Still Bay

Stilbaai (" Still Bay "), tranquil coastal town, three and a half hours drive from Cape Town .  On the shores of the warm Indian Ocean, lies Lappiesbaai (the " Bay of Rags ") beach.    In the good old days, the locals used to dry their washing on the bushes along the dunes of the beach, giving this stretch of pristine coastline, its rather interesting name.  Wild, and unspoilt, on this beach you will find Pansy shells, and experience the Gaukau river flowing directly into the sea.  Peace, rest, silence, tranquility and an undisturbed safe beach awaits you at Lappiesbaai.  And, of course, watching whales during the winter months which people from all over the world come to Stilbaai to do.

Interpretive signage helps explain some of the unique features of the rural beach and surrounding area.  There is a lovely restaurant based right on the beach. The beach has a special beach-friendly wheelchair in place that will allow visitors with physical disabilities to enter the sea safely.
