Victoria Bay

This is a picture of Victoria Bay, a small cove beach on the coast of South Africa on the Garden route where I grew up. The warm water washes up on the white sand beaches and coral filled rock.

If you drive up the small, windy road to the top of the hill, the views will take your breath away. Every year the whales return during mating season, and you can sit on the porch watching this spectacle of nature.
