Port Owen is in the town of Velddrif, 145 km from Cape Town. Centrally located to many West Coast attractions: 36 km from Langebaan , 27 km from Paternoster and 22 km from Dwarskersbos. The Port Owen Marina Yacht Basin is host to many resident boats and is surrounded on three sides by the Great Berg River. The Port Owen Yacht Club is one kilometer from the harbor mouth where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean at St. Helena Bay. This bay, the largest on the West Coast of Africa, offers the finest sailing conditions on the South African coastline due to its sheltered nature and the prevailing summer southeast trade winds. Adjacent to the fishing harbor of Laaiplek and surrounded by salt marsh,the area is a great place to enjoy fishing, kayaking and watersports. Free public boat launch just a few blocks away and jetty space available! Enjoy long walks around the Port Owen Marina Basin. Make time for shell collecting on the beautiful Laaiplek beach or lunch at one of the fresh fish & chips restaurants just a few kilometers drive. The area is renowned for its bird life with over 350 different sea, land and river birds that can be found in the area.
