The small coastal town enjoys moderate weather throughout the year, but it is during the summer months that Gouritsmond comes alive, as revelers descend to enjoy the full benefits of this sun-sea-sand destination.

Skiing, boating, rubber-ducking, surfing or simply chilling out on the sandy white beaches, are favourite activities.

Set off on a deep sea fishing trip or ski on the Gourits River while friends and family endeavor to nab that succulent fish to be enjoyed on an open fire or braai. There are great lookout points from which to observe Southern Right whales frolicking in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean between June and November every year.

Accommodation ranges from a caravan park and self-catering units to B&Bs and guesthouses… nothing pretentious in Gouritsmond, just home grown hospitality, home cooking and home-from-home accommodation.
