June to November, the bay remembers it is a nursery

From June to November, southern right whales use this coastline. Hermanus has the famous cliffs. Kleinmond has something quieter: a path, a flask, and the chance that you will be the only person watching a mother and calf.

Whale season is also when many buyers first visit. Do not decide a life on a perfect August afternoon. Come back in a south-easter. Walk the same path in February. Belonging survives weather.
