In my misspent youth we used travel along the dirt road from Boknes through the Alexandria forest,take a dirt road through a farm and end up on the coast,there was a short stretch of beach between two cliffs,full of sand mussel,I remember there used to be a kind of municipal holiday resort ,does anyone know if you can still get to this spot,I know one could walk from the holiday resort along a board walk,but this was bloody far,I remember we used to drive along a dirt track and end up quite close to the beach.I took a drive along the dirt road through the forest but for the life of me could not remember were we turned of,must be oletimers.I know the area west of Cannon rocks was reffered to as viskraale,but there was a cliff blocking you from going further so had to back track along dirt road as described above,I think some guys used to call it Perde vlei

I wish I could remember how we got there.I know we used to turn off through a farm gate,there was some kind of parks board hut in the bush and then we ended up on a cliff overlooking this awesome deserted stretch of beach,there was also some kind of pump station pumping water out of dunes.The sand mussel were thick
The second spot which I'm sure is the exact spot is now a Christian Camping grounds. You have to go through a farm to get there and it looks like it could have once been a municipal camp grounds.
I have not actually fished here, but have spoken to the folks that run the show. It's a bit run down, but good for a fishing weekend!
...you don't have to converts or become a happy clappy to stay there either! LoL

Hiya Spin,
This must be the section between my first pics and the beach section back to Sundays. Opposite the Island?
Man I remember when you could drive along the beach all the way from Sundays to these spots!
Was just saying in another thread in the DIY section that these waters are prob the best fishing grounds in the country. Most of the area has prob had very little pressure since the vehicle beach ban.
Fishing must be amazing along this 40km stretch of fishing paradise

Woody cape is the place, used to go there quite often, you walked a wooden pathway to access the beach with two headlands on either side of the beach, one is groot krantz towards p.e and the other towards viskrale. Unspoilt beach that. The authorities back then caught people poaching baardman with spears in the shallows like hundreds! Wild beautifull place where leopards stil roam.

ja that place is mooi, ive managed to fish there a couple of times but it does get fished alot from the locals and unfortunatly ive noticed that very little gets released back there but parks board does bust guys there with over there limits of fish. sad thing the last time i was there i saw some EP junior leave packets and there pilchard boxes right on the dunes where they fished before they walked back and a couple of dead barbels and sandsharks. not a great example.
but the fishing there isnt like the old days when the baardman were so thick you could see them from the kraansies.

Hi Mouldie
Vennie suggested that I comment on the your question. I was at perdevlei last week and believe me the fishing is not so good (granted weather bad and sea storming). You must not confuse Perdevlei with Springs. Perdevlei is where you turnoff at Zuney and travel to the Perdevlei gate. From the gate you have to walk (thanks to Valie) through the forest, now Nat Parks Board, and then over 4km of dunes. At the coast you turn east towards Alexandria and another +- 2 km will get you to the Kransies or Perdevlei as this section is called.
For Springs you take the dirt road from Boknes or Cannon Rocks and drive west in the direction of PE. Approximately 10km from Cannon Rocks is is turnoff to the coast, also Parks Board, that lead to the area called Springs. This is where the pump house for the Cannon Rocks domestic water supply is situated. Take note that this section is closed to the public and there is gate that is locked. To the east of that +- 1.5 km is the Fish Kraals. Woody Cape is situated between Springs and Perdevlei.
