One fine day in 1814, Hermanus Pieters discovered that the valley 'of heaven and earth' led to the ocean. Every year, Hermanus frequently tops the list of the best places to live. Here, far from their Antarctic home, the whales come to calve from June to November, and they can be seen from the beach. It is here that sea ears, molluscs or abalone are caught. This is the ideal place to discover the strange flavour of this shellfish, cooked in a stew. Not far away, in Gansbaai, daredevils can go cage diving. On the other hand, you can visit the vineyards of the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde valley.
