Misty Cliffs

This guide to Misty Cliffs traces how Atlantic swells slamming into the cliffside atomize into spray that the wind drags inland as fog, so cloud forms over the rock while the sun shines a few minutes north at Kommetjie. It follows the handful of holiday houses squeezed into this protected conservation village, and the southern right whales that pass close offshore between July and November. Listen for the black oystercatchers working the rock pools at your feet while surfers ride the barrels beyond.
