Hartlaub's Gulls on the Beach at Kommetjie. Isolated by majestic mountains, Kommetjie is delightfully rural and unspoiled.

Although being conveniently close to Cape Town, the atmosphere of Kommetjie, even in peak season when holiday resorts are bustling, is one of peaceful isolation.

Kommetjie has a popular beach for swimming, surfing, crayfishing and boating.

On a calm weekend in the summer divers can be seen gasping for breath on the surface after free-diving to try and catch their daily quota of crayfish (rock lobster).
