Shelley Point

Shelley Point is a private security and golf estate (9 hole) on its own peninsula covering an area of 150 hectares that stretches from Stompneusbaai in the east, Shell Bay to the North and overlooks the beautiful white sandy beach of the Britannia Bay Golden Mile to the West. The estate is home to many species: Angulate Tortoises, Guineafowl and Cape Spurfowl, Steenbok and Cape Mongoose – not to mention the threatened African Black Oystercatcher who nests in the beds of washed-up mussel shells.

The waters are home to the Heaviside’s Dolphin, endemic along Southern Africa’s West Coast.  Visitors also have the chance to watch Southern Right Whales mate and calve during breeding season – which peaks in December. A gem in any nature lover’s language and one we hope you’ll discover, delight in and respect and protect.

Keen surfers will appreciate that Shelley Point is home to two point breaks, a left and a right break either side of the point that separates Shell Bay from Britannia Bay.  Known as ‘Pastures’ and ‘Heaven’, these breaks are easily accessed and are a short 5 minute walk from each other.  Alternatively, a 1 minute car drive will link the two.  Both breaks, a left and a right respectively, are known for good quality waves depending on swell and wind direction. An added bonus is that both breaks can work in summer and winter as the area often experiences windless glassy conditions combined with sizeable swells.  A 45 minute drive further North will find the world renowned break of Eilands bay which can be an easy day trip to and from Shelly Point.

On the North and East bay, or a flat day on Britannia Bay, the conditions are perfect for swimming, snorkling, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. 

                             The 9 hole golf course incorporates a pro shop which is adjacent to the newly opened bistro eatery offering breakfast and light lunches and bar. The Estate also offers an outdoor activity arena incorporating a beach volley ball court, putt putt course, children’s playground, multi purpose hockey & football pitch with a basket ball hoop.

Shelley Point Estate has 24hr security including regular patrols.
