Stilbaai

The little beach community of Stilbaai, is situated on an estuary where the Goukou River meets the Indian Ocean just off the N2 between Mossel Bay and Riverside. The town, which is mostly a retirement community and vacation destination, has gained appeal largely thanks to its serene and welcoming environment away from the hordes of tourists. Visitors looking for safe swimming, fishing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, canoeing and other water sports will find the hamlet to be highly alluring. Rich marine life may be found in the river estuary at Stilbaai and a remarkable diversity of birds are drawn to the area by the wealth of native plants and animals.
