The southern side of the Cape Peninsula is called False Bay – the name comes from early navigators who used to think that they could sail through the bay to Cape Town and that the Peninsula was merely an island.
The bay is 35 kilometres across and runs south to Cape Point and then back up to Cape Hangklip. The climate in the Western Cape is typically Mediterranean and is usually warm and dry in the summer and mild and moist in the winter. Rain is frequent during the winter months.
