The tiny fishing village of Paternoster on the West Coast is one of those places that makes you feel like you have stepped back in time. Life here has always been connected to the sea and images of traditional colourful wooden boats, ‘bokkoms’ (whole, salted and dried mullets) hung out to dry and white washed cottages on an unspoilt coastline will meet you as you arrive in this picture perfect setting only a few hours drive from Cape Town.
Life here may be slow, but Paternoster has plenty to keep you entertained. Like many of the other West Coast villages, activities here are on the beach and in the sea. Take a Horse back ride down a white sand beach, test your skills at Kitesurfing or go Kayaking in the Atlantic Ocean – and after a long day in the sun, try out the local cuisine: crayfish on the braai or mussels in the pot always go down well with hungry adventurers!
