The famous Hermanus cliff path runs right along the coastline — a world-class coastal walk with breathtaking ocean views at every turn. Between June and December, Southern Right Whales arrive in Walker Bay in remarkable numbers, and the cliff path offers some of the finest land-based whale watching on the planet.
