Hermanus lies along Walker Bay on the south coast of the Western Cape. It is located about 115 km southeast of Cape Town and is connected to the Mother City by the R43 highway (or coastal R44 scenic route) and N2 motorway. The R43 continues to Cape Agulhas, the most southerly point of Africa.
Hermanus is 40 km from Gansbaai, a famous spot where one can dive amongst the Great White Sharks. It is also notable that Hermanus still boasts a historic railway station building without a railway line.
The founding fathers of the town decided not to lay any rail tracks as this would have made Hermanus too commercial. It was felt at the time that Hermanus needed to stay a small Fisherman's Village. To this day the locals still refer to it as "the village."
Hermanus Location
Arguably the best land-based whale watching destination, Hermanus hosts an annual whale festival at the end of September, to celebrate the providential returning of the Southern Right whales to this bay during the annual calving and mating season. Prior to this main whale festival a "Kalfiefees" (or "Calf Festival") is held, to welcome the first whales (usually in August).

Cape Whale Coast
The R43 continues to Cape Agulhas, the Southern most point on the African continent. The lighthouse was built in 1848 and Cape Agulhus is the dividing point between the Indian and Atlantic oceans. Its spectacular architecture combines Egyptian / Alexandrian elements of design. The lighthouse has a tea shop and tower to climb. Agulhus is about 40 km from Gansbaai, a famous spot where one can dive amongst the Great White Sharks.
