Kogel Bay Resort is located between Gordon’s Bay and Rooi Els, and borders Clarens Drive, a 20 kilometre scenic route that boasts whale-watching opportunities along largely undeveloped parts of the coastline. The resort is situated between high mountains; surrounded by indigenous fynbos and a four kilometre sandy beach; and forms part of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. The high mountains shelter the beach from the strong south-easter winds during summer, making it a sought after beach and camping facility.


The day visitors camp is closed due to vandalism. The facility is operating at 40% maximum capacity. Only 40 camping sites are available for bookings.

Yeah! I think the spark was jittery 'cos 'e was afraid someone would point a spraycan in 'is direction  

Amazing footage, Droff. Hope the vandalism will stop in this lovely area. Thank you for your continued support!

A great bit of rugged coastline. What sort of mentality finds satisfaction in vandalising somewhere like that. Such a shame.

The place could be really nice but there are those that will steal anything - even if it is attached to the wall.
There are other places that had metal plaques like monuments and stuff, where the metal plaques have been stolen.
There are even bridge railings and train rails that have been removed and sold as scrap.

Sad to know that. Hopefully, the locals can do something on this issue in their location to preserve the beauty of the area. Have a wonderful day, Droff!

Thank you MM

you're welcome!

Beautiful sight.
One small tip, halfway you start a straight pan to the left.
That felt too fast for me.
I try to avoid straight pans, since they don't look very 'pleasing' most of the time and fly a bit forward while rotating left or right.
That usually results in a nicer shot!
