It is overlooked by Lion’s Head, which is an eroded outlier of sandstone. There is a plaque on the seashore that commemorates a visit by Charles Darwin, who made important geological observations here relating to the nature and origin of granite.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bantry Bay is known to be the most wind-free area in Cape Town. Secluded & protected, this area gets about 290 wind free days per year – a significant fact given Cape Town’s windy climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
