Hermanus Cliff Path Biodiversity Walk
Directions to Starting Point
Follow the R43 all the way into Hermanus. You are in the centre of Hermanus when the road makes a sharp turn to the left or right (depending on which direction you’re coming from) at a set of traffic lights. Find parking and walk in the direction of the sea. Ask for the Old Harbour. The walk starts at the stone war memorial, above the Old Harbour, flanked by two cannons.
