The Helderberg (meaning "clear mountain") is the region surrounding the dramatic Helderberg mountain on the eastern edge of False Bay. It bridges the Cape Winelands and the coast, offering wine farms, mountain trails, and warm-water beaches within minutes of each other.
Somerset West anchors the region with upmarket shopping and wine estates like Vergelegen and Lourensford. Strand provides a family beach, and Gordon's Bay offers a harbour village atmosphere and the start of the spectacular Clarence Drive coastal road to Rooi-Els and Betty's Bay.
