map of Kommetjie |
Kommetjie (Afrikaans
for "small basin," approximately pronounced commey-key) is a suburb of
Cape Town, in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It lies about
half way down the west coast of the Cape Peninsula, at the southern end
of the long wide beach that runs northwards towards Chapman's Peak and
Noordhoek. The village is situated around a small, natural and rocky
inlet that resembles a basin. There is some evidence that this basin was
used as a fish trap by prehistoric peoples. The area is a popular spot
for surfing, since powerful waves from the Atlantic Ocean rise up over
rocky reefs formed by hard sandstones of the Table Mountain Group. Wherever
the bottom is rocky, the shallower waters are thick with giant kelp forests. |
| Kommetjie is
famous for its excellent crayfishing despite recent changes in fishing
quotas which have seen a drastic reduction in the daily catch allowed.
Exploring
the Cape Peninsula by Barbara Ulmi
...Take a leisurely drive
out of the park, passing the Cape Point Ostrich Farm and Zimbabwean curios
at Red Hill, until you get to the quaint village of Scarborough, home to
rig-workers, artists, painting doctors, and organic food growers. The adjacent
surfer mekka, Misty Cliffs, is adorned by the whitest beach in the Cape
- Witsand - and is en route to Kommetjie, a seaside playground for
grommets and veterans alike...read
