Area
Information
The
town of Mossel Bay holds many delights for those who, like Dias, will
take the time to explore.
Take
a trip to the magnificent Point area, or visit one of the nearby
game farms; don’t miss the Dias Museum Complex, where, amongst
other things, you can take a tour of the 1988 replica of the caravel
on which Dias and his men sailed into the Bay.
Local
tour operators offer splendid cruises around Seal Island, or for
the intrepid, why not try shark-cage diving?
In
Mossel Bay, there are a number of charming curio shops, as well
as a wide variety of excellent restaurants and coffee shops, and
the world-class Garden Route Casino is just a few minutes out of
town.
