Gericke's Point — Attraction in George

This is an awesome walk to attempt. Emphasis on attempt. I would like to caution all tourists alike that Gericks Point looks a lot closer than it actually is. I thought it would take me 10 minutes to get there from the beach. I hopelessly underestimated the distance and time it would take. The sand is really very soft, so your feet sinks into the sand and where you get to hard ground, you're walking over sharp, dead choral that could potentially cut deep. It's a 30 minute walk one way, so plan your journey well. I left as the tide was coming in and I must have chosen the worst time of the year to make the walk because when I reached the point, the tide was so high, it would have been dangerous to attempt to cross over.

For the more adventurous hike from swartvlei beach to Klein krantz or vice versa.

For the fisherman there are many spots to cast for a variety of fish species. You will find spotted grunter, elf, kabeljou...
