MUNICIPALITY INVITES RESIDENTS TO HAVE THEIR SAY ON TOURISM

Overstrand Tourism has conducted two surveys which have now been completed - one targeting the tourism and hospitality sector, and another for non-tourism businesses.

The final survey - the Resident Tourism Survey - is now open.

As a resident, your lived experience is invaluable in shaping our tourism strategy.

This survey captures your views and daily realities of tourism in Overstrand. Your feedback will help guide how tourism is managed in our towns, supporting a balance between peak-season pressures and preserving the exceptional quality of life that makes the Overstrand unique.

Take the survey here: https://forms.office.com/r/G2eFgk3Sxr

The survey closes on 5 June 2026.

🌊✨ Nature at Work! ✨🌊

The Klein River Estuary (Hermanus Lagoon) is currently breaching at Grotto Beach following the recent rainfall on 19 May 2026. ☔️

It’s an impressive sight to see, but please remember to keep a safe distance, as water levels and currents can change quickly.
