Please search the internet for videos of Franskraal and Uilenkraalsmond for awesome amateur videos of the area and things to do including fishing, horseback riding, sea safaris and sharkcage diving. Next to Franskraal is the beautiful Uilenkraalsmond beach resort and one of the most popular family holiday destinations in the Western Cape. What is today the caravan-park of Uilenkraalsmond, was already a camping ground 200 years ago. The farmers of the area met each other here around Christmas time. Many of the older Gansbaai residents have fond childhood memories of days gone by when they, like generations before them, caught steenbras and harder in this estuary formed by the joining of the Uilenkraal River and the Bushman’s River. The outlet of the estuary on the outstretched Franskraal beach is a wonderful, safe venue for swimming, water sports and collecting live crabs and shells. The estuary is also a famous birding and fishing hotspot. The two rivers flow from the breathtaking valleys of Uilkraal and Baardskeerdersbos respectively. Looking down from the Franskraal mountains, one can see the whole system of creeks, ponds and streams coming together at the estuary and flowing into the sea. Surrounded by endless white sand dunes and an epic beach stretching all the way from Franskraal to Pearly Beach, this area is a beehive of activities during the summer holidays. The festive mood on the beach is contagious and visitors spontaneously form groups to participate in touch rugby, volleyball, Tug of war and beach tennis. Lifeguards are on duty at the main swimming area and hikers and rock and beach anglers dot the shoreline as far as the eye can see. The modern caravan park and holiday resort provide a smorgasbord of entertainment for young and old, including a supertube, putt-putt course, trampoline and a games room. A pub offers karaoke facilities, a big TV screen and a pool table. There is also a shop and a takeaway cafe that cater to daily needs. Only 5 km from Gansbaai, one can see the outstretched estuary from the bridge on the R43 en route to Pearly Beach. A more scenic setting and exquisite combination of endless beach fun and modern comfort are hard to find!
