Pringle Bay is well known for the Hangklip (hanging rock) that leans out to sea and marks the eastern end of False Bay. The Hangklip Mountain at 484m above sea level is packed with numerous natural caves, and was once a refuge for bandits and slaves escaping their Dutch masters, hence the mountain cave being named “Drostersgat” – Deserters Cave.
The beach is exposed to the wind, and frequently empty. The village is regarded as one of the safest in the country, naturally being family friendly and is home to a number of restaurants and curio shops which serve locals, holiday-makers and passers-by.
A day’s walk along the beach followed by a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants or a braai at Sea la Vie, a night cap under the stars before retiring into the comfort of the rooms at Sea la Vie, is a perfect holiday.
