Things to see near AtlanticSunsets, Port Owen #1.... Saldanha Look Out Point at Hoetjiesbaai

Following a request from a guest arriving in December about ideas for what there is to see and do, I thought perhaps it would be a good for me to start preparing a few posts about what there is to see nearby. So let's go to Saldanha first. 

Saldanha is less than 40km away along a good tar road via Vredenburg, so it is less than an hour in travel time to get there. For those fit enough to walk up stairs there is a very easy climb up to the lookout point from which one has 360 degree views of Saldannah Bay, the ore terminal, and the military base. Some of the old fisherman homes still stand there at the base of the hill, as well as a small museum and a statue in honour of those lost at sea. There is also an interesting old graveyard just below the fisherman cottages.
