Drone tour of St Helena Bay by Harcourts West Coast

Hello Everyone, and welcome to our drone tour of St Heleena Bay by Harcourts West Coast.

Starting at Laingville, then across West Point, Steenberg’s Cove, Hannas Bay, and Britannica Heights.

St Helena Bay has many bays covering approximately 20 kilometers of unspoiled beaches, breathtaking ocean views, and a rich blend of local culture and modern living. St Helena Bay is fast becoming a favourite destination for holidaymakers, permanent residents, and property investors alike.

From here, over Harbour Lights, where our Harcourts West Coast office is located at The Palms Lifestyle Centre, overlooking the harbour area.

Located just 160 kilometers—or about a 1 hour and 45-minute drive—from Cape Town, St Helena Bay is nestled along the picturesque Cape West Coast of South Africa. Known historically for its thriving fishing industry, this serene coastal town has grown into a vibrant and sought-after community with an ideal climate, with hot summers and mild winters—summer temperatures average between 21 and 23°C, while winters remain pleasantly moderate between 20 and 26°C

Then over Sandy Point, Columbine, and Stompneus Bay—where the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama landed in 1497 during his voyage to India. He named this bay in honour of Saint Helena, mother of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. This marked the first recorded interaction between Europeans and the indigenous Khoikhoi people.

From there is the security-access-controlled Shelley Point golf estate that is almost entirely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. It’s one of the few places where you can watch both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean and features a nine-hole golf course with a clubhouse. Continuing along the shoreline, we pass the stunning Golden Mile Beach, then over Britannia Bay, which ends at Cape St. Martin and the natural enclave of Duyker Eiland.
