Beach: Waterways is situated on the Kromme River estuary. This is tidal, and at low tide there is a huge estuary beach immediately across the road. Wonderful bird life, walking and fishing, with wind & kite surfing under suitable conditions.
Golf: Not on a golf course as such, but within about 2 kilometres of 2 courses, one of which, the Links, is rated in the top 10 in South Africa.
Family friendly: Children are welcome. The estuary beach is ideal for young children, and boating on the canals for older ones..
