Walker Bay Nature Reserve - 3km from Gansbaai
Walker Bay is the nature reserve, managed by Cape Nature, stretching along the coast from De Kelders to the Hermanus Lagoon. A hiking trail of 24 km follows the coastline. There are several beaches and protected coves. Die Plaat, a vast area dominated by drift-sand can be seen from the other side of Walker Bay. The entrance to the reserve is on the northern edge of De Kelders. The famous Klipgat Cave can be reached by steps from the entrance. To reach the Klipgat Cave is still somewhat of a mission but a boardwalk into the cave will be built in the course of 2005 as well as an interpretation and information centre.
