Fishing boats and Cape Fur Seals in Hout Bay Harbour, near Cape Town, South Africa.

Partly given over to tourism with complexes such as Mariner’s Wharf, Hout Bay’s harbour still functions and the southern side is a fishing port and processing centre. Cruises and snorkelling/diving trips to Duiker Island depart from here.
