Beautifull stand in St Helena Views with amazing unspoilt Views Of the West coast Coastline. St Helena Bay is situated in such a way that it is the only place on the West Coast where you can watch the sun rise over the sea.Every sunrise is different: from warm, red African sunrises to breathtaking, cooler scenes that could be somewhere in Scandinavia. As the light shifts on the horizon, you can watch dolphins as they playfully start the new day.The arid region made water and the use of it a focal point of their culture. So, when the first Europeans landed in St Helena Bay under the leadership of Vasco Da Gama in 1497, there were bound to be misunderstandings. Today, St Helena Bay is home to the fishing industry and has the largest concentration of fishing factories which provide more that half of the fish produced in South Africa annually. These factories are distributed along the south-western coast of the bay and include communities like Stompneus Bay, West Point, Sandy Point and Steenberg's Cove. Excitement grows during 'snoek' season (snoek are very special fish found only off the south african coast. There are similar species elsewhere but no one can mistake the delicate and unique flavour of real snoek.) A particular delicacy (also called Cape Caviar) is snoek roe. Snoek soup, quiche and many other dishes are very much part of the South African cuisine. You have to experience it for yourself.
