Range of Paternoster activities

 

Being a fishermen's village, the most obvious attraction would be for those who enjoy fishing. While certainly not the only Paternoster activities available, the various fishing opportunities are certainly a must for any lover of this sport. You can even join a crew for deep-sea angling. Other activities related to the sea include wonderful beaches and great kite surfing and flying opportunities. Paternoster is also considered to be one of the best spots in South Africa for kayaking.

 

There are just as many Paternoster activities on land. During spring the world is transformed into a brilliant blanket of brightly coloured flowers. A drive through the Rocherpan Nature Reserve or the West Coast National Park will leave you with lasting memories. In the Columbine Nature Reserve you will find one of the last manually operated lighthouses in South Africa, while there are many unique and incredible fossils on display at the West Coast Fossil Park.

 

At the end of everyday you have a choice of local restaurants to satisfy your hunger. Expect good food at a great price, with many restaurants offering excellent seafood dishes as part of their menu. As for the resting in between your Paternoster activities, The Limestone House offers comfortable accommodation. Situated less than 50 metres from Paternoster's most beautiful beach, The Limestone House is a self catering guest house that provides you with lots of space in a great location.
