Review:
Mossel Bay is a seaside town on the Garden Route in West Cape. Home to Santos Beach, a wide, sandy stretch of coast where visitors can spend the day relaxing or participating in water sports, this beautiful harbor town has a relaxed friendly atmosphere and is quite a popular vacation spot. Visitors can explore the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse, a 19th century structure that offers lovely views out into the bay or explore some of the museums in the town like the Maritime Museum, the Shell Museum, the botanical gardens, or the Shark Lab mini aquarium. Mossel Bay is also home to the unique and beautiful Post Office Tree, a milkwood tree that is over 500 years old and was first used in 1500 as a repository for letters.
