Once used for open boat whaling, Fish Hoek is now a popular whale watching spot. Southern Right whales arrive in the bay between July and November to calf. There are several tea and coffee shops, restaurants, snack bars, and take-aways to choose from to sit and enjoy the awe-inspiring view of these whales frolicking in the waves. With such a breath-taking coastline, it is logical that seafood is the speciality, although other tastes and traditions are very well catered for too.

A short climb above the dunes in Fish Hoek is Peers Cave, a rock sanctuary used by primitive man that affords dazzling views across the Peninsula to both oceans from across the valley as well as a peek into stone-age history. The cave is named after Victor Peers who uncovered an approximately 15000 year old fossilised skull here in 1927.

Residents in the area are still resolutely upholding this, although they have sanctioned restaurant and bar licenses in the area.
