Went there for kitesurfing, amzazing 😍 Just three kiters on the water with big waves coming in . Will be back there for sure. Parking near the beach is difficult because there is not mutch parking space . Better park on the left side near the beach.

We have been wanting to visit Pringle Bay for years, so we booked into a self-catering for 3 nights. The incredibly beautiful beach had nice 4-foot waves, so I am heading into the ocean for a body surf. The next day we hiked the brodie path amongst the fynbos. Pringle Bay is situated inside a UNESCO heritage site for its flora.
I would love to settle down here one day, perfect for those WFH people. Oh awesome sunsets!

We liked Pringle Bay so much that we decide to stay for 4 weeks... People are so friendly and they care for their environment. The houses are set apart and provides one with a sense of privacy that no other town / village can offer.

What an absolute gem! Only an hour from Cape Town situated inside a UNESCO world heritage site for its floral diversity. Surrounded by mountains and pristine beaches and lagoons for surfing swimming diving and hiking. Wildlife in town include the Lynx Leopard Baboons Buck and many birds. Excellent eateries in its small CBD and beyond. Perfect place to remote work. Property prices, especially the few plots left are still undervalued in my opinion.

Wonderful location. We stayed at Pringle Beach House, which I can highly recommend. It’s the perfect location for a group of friends or a big family to enjoy Pringle Bay. The rooms are really comfortable. Living room, kitchen and the terrace leave no wishes open. And the owner is such a lovely and helpful person. It’s a shame we haven’t met in person.

I just love Pringle Bay, so much to do and I do it! People here obviously care for their environment, it shows. I recently purchased a SUP and ended up exploring the coastline and surfing the beach break. Also paddled up the pristine river and spotted a family of Cape Clawless Otter. Flora, Fauna and marine life abound. They say the wind blows here, no more than anywhere else in the Cape.

If it's tranquillity with diversity you seek, Pringle Bay is the place to be. A beautiful array of beaches, hikes of varying difficulty, vistas to die for, flora and fauna - Pringle has it all. Dubbed as the 'next Noordhoek' it's a must-visit before it becomes too popular. And it's just one hour from Cape Town. You can either approach Pringle Bay via Clarence drive, the most scenic coastline drive, or via St Lowry's pass amongst a multitude of vineyards and exquisite farmstalls. Whales are often seen in the bay, baboons roam the area, and a keen eye may spot a Cape Leopard in the hills above.

Pringle bay is almost always voted in the top 5 best coastal villages to live and holiday in South Africa. So its no suprise that plot prices hsve doubled in the last 2 years. Only an hour outside Cape Town it has become thee location for work from homers.

We were in 'lockdown' here. Cannot image a nicer place to experience such peace in confinement.
Just wave watching, the many birds and occasionally sighting whales. The surrounding mountains and fynbos scenery are stunning.

Hi. I'm thinking of a vacation in the Cape area and was thinking of stopping in Pringle Bay. I've recently read about residents in Pringle Bay shooting baboons in public and being abusive towards the animals. As a tourist I'm nervous about this, does anyone know anything about this?

Arriving 6th October is it safe to walk around in the evenings looks amazing staying in the Belmer guest house how far is the beach from there 😊

Pringle is safe to walk about, although always be sensible in SA. Most guest houses are pretty close at Pringle to the beach, but don't know this one. The management will tell you . We stay in a private home which is a 10 min walk. Have a great time. Eat at restaurant 365. They will look after you. Also the Pizza restaurant.
