Cape St Blaize Cave

Cape St Blaize Cave, situated below the lighthouse in Mossel Bay, Western Cape, is a renowned archaeological site of South Africa’s Middle Stone Age. Visitors can explore the cave freely, enjoy panoramic ocean views, and embark on the Cape St Blaize Trail, a 13.5 km coastal walk linking Mossel Bay to Dana Bay. Notably, the site is historically significant, having revealed ancient middens and stone tools from early hunter-gatherer communities, and was one of the country’s first scientifically excavated caves in the late 19th century.
