EXPLORE BOMBSLANG CAVES
This is for adventurous groups and if you take the challenge it also means you may have to make this a two day affair. Kalk Bay really is a place to hang out. Exploring this little haven is best done with time on your hands. Feel free to chat to locals and get their take, you wouldn’t want to miss its magical charm.

Where: Park on Boyes Drive above Kalk Bay, then hike up the demarcated route into Echo Valley. The other end of the cave overlooks Fish Hoek.
When: It’s best to hike the route in daylight. In winter, sections of the cave occasionally fill with about 30 cm of water.
Cost: Absolutely free
Tip: Take along two good torches per hiker, water and some snacks

DINING OUT KALK BAY STYLE

Salt along main road has a casual but vibey twist perfect for catch ups with mates and at the Harbour there is Harbour House for fine dining and Kalkys with a down to earth locals spot with a touch of history. Take cash and prepare to slum it on painted benches. Great spot right in the heart of the harbour.
