Kalkbaai Things to Do

Kalk Bay, like most places along the False Bay coast (possibly except Muizenberg) has a a grandstand view of the whales that come to calve in the shallow, relatively sheltered waters. Between July and November, the huge, gentle Southern Right Whales come to within a few metres of the shoreline all along the False Bay and Cape Atlantic coast to give birth. A month either side and you may be lucky to see an early whale or a straggler, but at other times careful observation and patience might well be rewarded by the sight of dolphins of porpoises.
