Doringbaai is a quaint coastal hamlet just south of Strandfontein and to the north of Lambert's Bay. The road from Strandfontein to Doringbaai is tarred. From Lambert's Bay in the south to Doringbaai it is a gravel road that in places will take you through pristine coastal vegetation.
In days gone by when there was an abundance of pelagic fish (pilchards and sardines) there was a thriving fish processing factory. As at Strandfontein, black and white mussels and lobsters can be collected with the appropriate licence and also if there is no red tide.
Recently there has been an upsurge in interest in the lighthouses around the South African Coast. On a rocky outcrop a lighthouse towers over Doringbaai. A visit to the restaurant at Doringbaai is recommended. |
