Welcome to Velddrif . . . with its age old traditions, where the stars shine brighter, where the sea and river meet, fish abound and tranquillity resounds in the call of the birds. Peace, silence, tranquillity and lots of space to explore are only some of the terms to describe the beautiful West Coast. Velddrif is located approximately 145 kilometres (90 mi) north of Cape Town, and is connected to Cape Town by the R27 road.[3] The R27 joins the R399 at Velddrif. It is situated near the point that the meandering Berg River flows into the sea at St. Helena Bay. This estuary is an important bird habitat, home to around 30,000 birds, including up to 80 species which are endemic to the Cape coast.[2] Well over 350 different species of birds can be seen here as it is a habitat for sea, river and land birds. The main industries of Velddrif are fishing, tourism, and salt production. There are two large salt works in the town that provide much of the salt in the Western Cape. The fishing industry is substantial in Velddrif; the town is part of the Crayfish Route. A common scene in the area is the rickety wooden jetties with the dried fish speciality, Bokkoms hung up the dry.
