Aspects that make angling from the beach especially enjoyable are the rich coastal bird-life, the peaceful desert environment adjacent to the coast and the fact that the beaches are relatively uncrowded. Best of all- the cool bracing climate which prevails throughout the year except on the odd day during the winter months when the hot berg wind blows from the interior.

Species such as west-coast Steenbras, Cob, Galjoen, Blacktail, Geelbek and White Stumpnose, while large predator sharks can be caught virtually all year round.
