Since 1964, the sea off Tsitsikamma has been protected, making it Africa’s oldest marine protected area. 🌊
Most of this coastline is a no-take zone. The reefs are left to the roman and the dageraad, the rock pools to the oystercatchers, the breakers to the otters. A stretch of shore is set aside for local fishing families, so old traditions carry on alongside it.
We share a name with this coastline, and we’re proud of the neighbourhood. Some places stay extraordinary because people decided to leave them be. 🪨
