    • Arniston is a small fishing village in the Western Cape - close to Cape Town. Arniston gets its name from the British ship that sank on the jagged coastline there in1815. The area is also known as, 'Waenhuiskrans'. Literally translated it means oxwagon cave and takes its name from a huge cave which was used to house the oxen and wagons used by the settlers.

    Arniston was beautiful and a great stop along the coast!

    Directions: Two hour drive southeast of Cape Town in the Whale Coast region. It is just past the southernmost tip of the country where the Atlantic Ocean changes into the Indian Ocean.

     This fishing village must be famous with its seafood restaurant. Did you try it?
