Three gorgeous beaches surround the peninsula of Shelley Point, each with their own unique characteristics. On the western side is Britannia Bay Beach, an unspoiled 5 km stretch of white sand.

Tucked away on the northern side is the protected Shelley Bay Beach, named for the fusion of sand, beach pebbles and shells.

Stompneus Bay Beach is on the eastern side, characterized by little coves of alternating rock and sand.

Whales and dolphins are frequently seen. Look out for the rare Heaviside's Dolphin, only found off the coast of Namibia and South Africa's West Coast.

There are numerous walking trails to enjoy, including one just outside the back gate of our garden. Turning right will treat you to stunning views of the estate and the golf course, while turning left will lead you to the picturesque Shelley Point lighthouse.
