KLEINBAAI
Kleinbaai is a settlement in Overberg District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
Kleinbaai is located on the Danger Point Peninsula, 6 km from Gansbaai. A gravel road connects Kleinbaai to the Danger Point Lighthouse. This area is also well known for its whale-watching sites.
GANSBAAI
Gansbaai (Dutch/Afrikaans for "bay of geese," sometimes referred to as Gans Bay or Gangs Bay) is a fishing town and popular tourist destination in the Overberg District Municipality, Western Cape, South Africa. It is known for its dense population of great white sharks and as a whale-watching location.
The main tourist attraction in Gansbaai since approximately 1995 has been cage diving with great white sharks.
Gansbaai was founded, according to local storytellers, in 1881 after 18-year-old fisherman Johannes Cornelis Wessels walked there across the dunes from Stanford and discovered excellent fishing in the area. He settled there, and soon after other families followed suit. The settlers called it "Gansbaai" after the colony of Egyptian geese that gathered at the freshwater fountain in the present-day Gansbaai Harbour. Up until the 20th century, however, it was little more than a simple fishing village due to its isolation and lack of communication with the outside world.
