???????? Gearing`s Point is a great place to look for the whales, esp. in winter season the Southern Right Whales, the gentle giants. They often come close to the shore and linger for a while. I visited Hermanus in October 2020 for about one week and experienced awesome sightings. For example, a mother and her calw were lingering close to the shore in the late afternoon. By the way the Cliff Path is also a great hot spot looking for whales along the close till to the New Harbour. You shouldn`t miss it.
In addition short unworked/unedited video clips about the sightings.
Moreover some small maps to give an overview.

Great place to come around September/October to watch the whales jump around and take care of their babies. Such a beautiful place

Could not decide on a 2 or 3 - the fish and chips portion was small and the fish overcooked - with the small flat portion a darker golden batter was unnecessary. The mussel special was well appreciated by my son. Tasty. I would not go there again as the view from some other restaurants was just as good. Go for the view from the harbour and find a much better eatery in Hermanus. Hermanus was very quiet.

Good place to visit, not very much to do, whale season from about June to end of November
