Morning Walks, Ocean Views & Breakfast by the Sea

One of the many things I love about staying at The Esplanade Hermanus is that everything is just a short walk away.

This morning, I'm taking a stroll along the breathtaking Cliff Path, with uninterrupted views across Walker Bay, on my way to a business meeting at Pure Bistro—just 280 metres from The Esplanade.

There's something truly special about starting your day with the sound of the ocean, the fresh sea air, and one of the most scenic coastal walks in South Africa. And what better way to finish that walk than with a delicious seaside breakfast overlooking the bay?

Whether you're here for whale watching, a weekend escape, or simply to unwind, this is the perfect way to begin your day.
