About

Bailey’s Cottage is predominantly a fishing spot, although there is a small patch of sandy beach squeezed between two rocky points. Anglers visit Bailey’s Cottage in the hope of catching Cobor Steenbras after a southeaster in summer, or a Galjoen in winter.

Swimming in this exposed stretch of coast is not advisable, but at low tide or in calm conditions there may be some small pools suitable for paddling. The thatched cottage after which the area is named, was owned by and built for Sir Abe Bailey in 1905.
