Geography: This picturesque seaside village of contrasts and natural beauty lies between the Berg River mouth in the north and the West Coast National Park in the south.
History: Saldanha has a quirky tale to tell about its current name. The Portuguese commodore Antonio de Saldanha anchored in what is now known as Table Bay in 1503, and named it Aguada de Saldanha ('the watering place of Saldanha'). Over 100 years later, the Dutch colonists decided to give Table Bay its current name and transferred the name of Saldanha to the bay that lay to the northwest.
Arts and Culture: The local economy is dependant on fishing, mussels, seafood processing, the steel industry and the harbour. As such, good fresh seafood is always available.
Science and Nature: Saldanha Bay is home to one of the world's finest natural harbours and it is the deepest and safest in South Africa. Owing to it being sheltered, the harbour plays an important part in the huge Sishen-Saldanha iron ore project at which Saldanha Steel, a state-of-the-art steel mill, takes centre stage. In Saldanha, nature is prominent, and at the SAS Saldanha Nature Reserve late winter brings a wonderful display of wild flowers, while in spring visitors can see Southern Right Whales during the migration period. The region is also a birdwatchers paradise.
Entertainment: Things to see and do in Saldanha include the Annual Harvest Festival of the Sea which commemorates those who lost their lives at sea, the French Huguenot Memorial, Doc's Cave, the Breakwater and Cummings Grave.
Sport: Owing to its location Saldanha is a paradise for the water sport enthusiast. Not only can visitors fish, dive, surf, water-ski or sailboard, but numerous historical and eco-attractions, hiking, mountain bike and 4x4 trails are on offer.
Did you know? Saldanha is the largest port on the west coast of Africa, and its harbour area is four times larger than the combined port areas of Table Bay, Durban, Port Elizabeth and East London.
