Some info from my visit to Mossel bay as copied from my Instagram page @fats.v
1. Hike some part of St Blaize trail starting at the lighthouse. It’s a long hike but you can turn back at any time. The views of the ocean beating against the cliffs are mesmerizing.
2. Visit the Central Beach with a fun tidal pool and swings on the beach
3. Visit the Santos Beach which is great for swimming and relaxing at.
