Hiking
Hiking is an amazing way to clear your mind while exploring the natural environment. The nearby Cape Columbine Nature Reserve offers superb hiking trails and boasts one of the last manned lighthouses in South Africa. Although the scenery is beautiful all year round, Paternoster and the reserve transform into a breathtaking carpet of wildflowers in August and September.
Kiteboarding
South Africa is one of the world’s best destinations for kiteboarding. When the southwest winds are blowing, Paternoster is a great place to get your gear out as there is a perfect left and right break on the bay.
Windsurfing
Paternoster is a great place to windsurf thanks to the wonderful smooth and clean waves. The beach is long which allows you to drift along and your only major concern would be carrying your equipment back to your starting point.
