Mossel Bay Photos

  Living and working in the central of Mossel Bay makes it easy to visit the Point regularly. And I cannot visit without taking a photo. Therefore here is another photo at the Point.

 

 Every time I take my son to the Poort he want to throw rocks into the water. And then, for the rest of the day, I have the song "Picking up pebbles" by Cornelia stuck in my head. Here is the lyrics of the song and a link to listen Look at the kids on the sandy shore Watching the tide come in I used to do the same sweet things What pleasures it did bring Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea Watching the white surf carry them all back to me But now it's all over I've grown up it don't seem the same The things in my childhood I know are all just a game To sit in my bed and watch the stars High up in the sky To say my prayers and off to sleep And then to wave them goodbye Wouldn't it be nice if clocks could be turn back the years Just to relive the good times and all of the tears Oh God it brings joy to see them in looking so gay How I wish I could go back to my childhood days Look at the kids on the sandy shore Watching the tide come in I used to do...

  Daar is niks lekkerder as 'n roomys by die Punt na 'n lang week. There is nothing better than an ice cream at the Point after a long week.

  Hierdie jaar het lente begin met 'n paar stormagtige dae,  maar gister was dit 'n heerlike dag om bietjie ons voete te gaan natmaak. *** This year spring has begun with some stormy days, but yesterday it was a lovely day to go wet our feet a bit.

Swimming at the Point Paddling Pool early on a warm summers day.

The sun is shining and it is a beautiful day in Mossel Bay. I had two beautiful views at lunchtime..... The ocean in front and the lighthouse at the back

It is always nice to take a walk at the Point on a sunny day!

De Bakke is the third beach in Mossel Bay to receive Blue Flag Status. The beaches at Santos and Hartenbos received their flags in 2009 and De Bakke joined them for the 2012/2013 season.

The camping sites for caravans and tents are right next to the ocean.   Just a short walk to go swimming and at night you can go to sleep with the sound of the waves in the background.

This is another view of the path along the beach in Hartenbos with the Outeniqua Mountains in the distance.

Hartenbos was established in 1936 when the “Afrikaanse Taal en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV)” or Afrikaans Language and Cultural Society purchased the farm and divided it into lots.
