Pringle Bay Crack and Cliffs

Pringle Bay Crack and Cliffs
Pringle Bay is a spectacular region. Here you have access to the east coast of False Bay, as well as all the sights and joys of Betties Bay and Kleinmond.

Pringle Bay beach is spectacularly beautiful, with mountains coming right down to the sea next to you. The beach has a great swimming area as well.

This walk shows how you can walk from the beach to a beautiful sea crack and cliffs where the brave, can take on jumps up to twelve metres high (with extreme care taken)

The crack that runs through the rocks here is unique and is quite an amazing rock formation.
