Overberg Must-Sees

Overberg spans the coastal belt where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge at Cape Agulhas. The region is characterized by the Cape Floral Kingdom's fynbos, the Stony Point penguin colony, and the land-based whale watching hub of Hermanus. Key sites include the 1848 lighthouse at the continent's southern tip, the marine-focused Old Harbour Museum, and the botanical collections at Harold Porter. Inland, the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley supports cool-climate viticulture, while the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve offers protected habitats for the Big Five.
