West Coast mussels & oysters on the beach

Fly up the West Coast to Saldanha Bay for mussels and oysters farmed right in front of you, served on the beach.

The experience

What to expect

The mussel and oyster beds at this Saldanha Bay farm sit right in front of the property, so what lands on your plate could not be fresher. Your hosts cook them in a traditional boma and, weather permitting, serve lunch on the beach.

The flight up the West Coast is a treat in itself: long empty beaches and the wide blue Atlantic.
