A hidden gem nestled along the breathtaking shores of the largest natural bay in South Africa.
Named after António de Saldanha, a captain of a vessel in Albuquerque's fleet who explored these waters in 1503.
Situated in the middle of two of the Western Cape’s most desirable semigration locations, Saldanha is the undiscovered, untouched jewel of the West Coast.
Our town boasts high speed fibre infrastructure and The 2022 Municipal Financial Sustainability Index (MFSI) by Ratings Afrika puts Midvaal in Gauteng and Saldanha Bay in the Western Cape as the two best-run municipalities in the country.
Saldanha Bay is paradise for watersport enthusiasts, fishermen, divers and nature lovers alike. Our local economy thrives on fishing, mussel and oyster farming, seafood processing, and the steel industry, all while maintaining a charming small-town atmosphere with limited traffic and an incredible shoreline.
At Welgedaan Estate, located just 1.8km from the beach, you'll experience panoramic views of this natural wonder.
