The surrounding mountain scenery makes Hout Bay one of the most attractive regions in the Cape. The Hout Bay region has been occupied since the stone age and was first discovered by modern man in the 17th century - at the time was covered in forest. Hence the name 'Hout'(wood) bay.
It didn't take long to discover that the local sea was rich in fish and crayfish, and in the 19th century a fishing industry was developed for overseas export. The fishing industry has expanded along with the harbour and this heritage is preserved to the present day.
Hout Bay has one of the busiest harbours in the Western Cape with an established tuna, snoek and crayfish industry. The harbour is home to the Hout Bay Yacht Club and several restaurants.
