Wonderful way to explore our heritage and coast line. Definitely need to pack hiking shoes. A bit of a climb getting to the caves but definitely worth it. Beautiful views and restrooms available.

Pristine beauty. Some of the best Mother Nature has to offer. Sea, shore, mountain, sky. Stunningly untamed and beautiful!

The views are stunning but the beach was dirty! Rubbish all over! Old fishing hooks, broken light bulbs, condoms, plastic bottles...just to name a few of the items we picked up! It really needs to be monitored as it is such a beautiful location

Close to Gansbaai, De Kelders. A must do experience.🐳 🌊 🌍 🥾 Walking, lingering, resting, enjoying the untouched beach, the sand, the dunes, the rocks, the deep blue water of the Atlantic. 2-3 times a day you can see the boats of Ivanhoe Sea Safaris and Southern Right Sharters in the bay which are looking for the Gentle Giants. And by the way , don`t forget an excursion to the Klipgat Caves beside. Moreover some small maps to orientate. The access to the entrance at Normandie St. isn`t so easy it likes, so have close look at Google maps or similar.Confer to Google maps tag: Walker Bay Nature Reserve Entrance.

Pity about those of us who feel the necessity to race up and down the dunes in their fancy 4x4s.

Exceptionally beautiful and really quite. The unfortunate issue is that to get across to the rest of the beach it depends on the tide. The steps are quite challenging and not easy to navigate. It would be a fantastic place if they could make it easier to navigate. Scenery was really amazing

Pure natural beauty not spoilt due to restricted entry and only accessible by off-road vehicles make this a perfect outdoor enthusiast break-away spot! You need to know your thing in order to avoid getting stuck in dune sand. Great fishing without the crowd and noise and lovely temperature water for that cool dip on a summers day.

Experience was amazing but, so disappointed that I must pay R100 to walk along the beach, and I am a resident of the area!

One of my best experiences! Come prepared, 4x4 only. Pro tip: deflate tires for sand dunes 🤙

It is sad to see plastic pollution on such an otherwise clean, beautiful and remote beach. We counted 75 pieces of plastic in a 1 sqm patch of sand. It is criminal what we are doing to the environment.

What a place to go, just nature, birds and no people. A must place if you visit De Kelder.Very cheap to get in but take one of the guided tours, they know everthing about the reserve.Best still no other tourists.

Even though this reserve is close to Stanford and Gansbaai, it has a wonderful feeling of remoteness. Great birdlife, long white sandy beaches and the chance to see seals, dolphins and even whales in the season. A peaceful haven, well worth a visit for nature lovers.

It is very beautiful but it is not that easy to access the caves. I was with 2 kids and we could not climb to the cave entrance.

Beautiful!! Short walk to the caves, with little enclosed beach. on the other side you will also find a beautiful stretch of beach. Further walks available but not shaded, so need to go early. Views were stunning. (not well signposted, at the parking lot, go down the stairs, cross the viewing platform and continue left across the sand, over some rocks and into caves)

A bit off the beaten path, magical place, its like being in another country, off road trail not too serious, just enough to feel "adventury" for the kidsThat being said it is 4x4 only and if u are not very experienced go with at least 2 vehicles in case you bog in the dunes.Maybe next time I will catch a fish. Heres hoping 🤞

Definitely need a 4X4 to drive within the reserve. Parts are very sandy so best to deflate tyres. Some areas very tough going but when you arrive at the deserted beach the view is awesome.

One of the most beautiful places to go. On the road from Hermanus to Gansbaai. Hardly any tourists - in fact we did not see anybody. Small admission fee. Deserted beaches, beautiful flowers and seals on the beach every now and then.

Didnt see the entire Reserve, just visited the southern shore to see the famous Klipgat Caves but it was clean and well maintained, and entry was free. Not enough signage from the main road past De Kelder so struggled to find the entrance but once we were in it was lovely.
