When I was there, it was not at all gloomy and not very windy either. It was a beautiful place and the camping was busy only with day visitors on Sunday

It was during the second week of January

Ja, the wind can make froth like that...yuck!
Very scenic!

Didn't you notice in previous pictures how sharp some of those rocks are
Not safe if you can't see where you are walking

When the sea becomes whipped cream or Amarula it is a bit disgusting. Once I thought that it was pollution, but read somewhere that it is........(don't remember anymore

It's the first time I have seen something like this.

Been to Agulhas as well. But only very briefly, so looking forward to your photos and account of the place.

Mel this was our third visit to Stormsriver and our first time so gloomy and rainy..
Agulhas coming soon

Usually during December the camping area are packed to capacity. Strange to see a spot open for more than a few hours

We left Stormsriver with a sad feeling but we knew our next part of the trip will be new planets to visit so also very excited.
We stopped over in George to get fresh groceries. That took longer than I thought
After booking in at the reception we started with the 6km dirt road towards the park. Not sure why they wasted their time with putting up 50km/h boards because the people fly past you leaving you in a cloud of dust every few minutes.
Our first stop was the southern most tip of AFRICA
We finally arrived at camp and unpacked.
Our view over the sea for the next 4 nights
We drove down to the lagoon to explore
The view back to the camp
Our first sunset from planet Agulhas

It really is beautiful there.
Our marine fish tank filter makes foam like that 'Amarula'...that's how it gets all the impurities out of the water.

Beautiful position and view
We went to Agulhas and tried to get into the park to have a look around, but no entrance if you do not have an over night booking

Interesting stuff again, Alpheus!
You know it is windy when the huts have to have cables tying them down?
Looks quite larney and private!
There is an Agulhas Park thread somewhere!
