Saldanha Bay, Cape West Coast: Saldanha is a
seaside village that lies in the northern most corner of Saldanha bay - the largest and
deepest natural bay in the country. About 110 km up the West Coast from Cape Town, the
picturesque harbour town of Saldanha is essentially motivated by export and the fishing
industry, and crayfish, fish, mussels, oysters and seaweed drive the economy. The
sheltered harbour here is dominated by the Sishen-Saldanha iron-ore project and is home to
a Naval training base, the South African Military Academy and a whole fleet of fishing
vessels that add a particular character to the bay. This largely unspoilt part of the
world is also home to seagulls, cormorants, Cape gannets, duikers and terns that tend to
outnumber humans by about a million to one and eco-tourism is popular.
