Strategically positioned, The Merry Crab (self-catering accommodation), is among the most ideal Indian Ocean locations from which to experience one of nature's greatest mysteries! Filmed by CNN, BBC & National Geographic, it is the single biggest faunal event to occur in our coastal waters annually
 - a phenomenon not seen anywhere else in the world! ! -
It’s little wonder it’s dubbed 

"The greatest shoal on earth"!

From our beach, the winter migration of these huge shoals of sardines 
(Sardinops sagax) can be sighted during the months of June and July.

The area as a whole is a rather special place where summer spends winter 
(winter day-time temperatures + 24°C) 
and, to put it in a 'coco-nut' shell, year round sunshine 
(incredible balmy weather!), 
warm seas, dolphins, whales, sea birds, safe bathing, sublime surfing, fantastic fishing, awesome diving, friendly locals, fine restaurants 
(Italian, German, French, Portuguese) 
and glorious tropical settings makes it one of South Africa's 
most sought-after destinations! 
Its 6 golf courses 
(4 are within + 15 minutes of The Merry Crab - 2 are of SA's top 3!) 
has earned our little paradise the reputation of being a world class golf destination
 - hence the title, 'Golf Coast' -

See you soon!
