Mossel Bay: The St Blaize Hiking Trail has been reopened
The Mossel Bay Municipality has announced that following repair work done to a section of the popular St Blaize Hiking Trail at the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse and cave, the trail has been declared save for use and has been reopened. Hikers can thus once again access the trail undeterred from the lighthouse and cave at The Point in Mossel Bay.
The St Blaize Hiking Trail is a popular 13.5 km hike between Mossel Bay and Dana Bay that follows the 30 meter contour along the cliffs westwards from the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse. The hike takes about six hours to complete and is moderately challenging. The St. Blaize Trail begins at the cave below the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse, and ends at Dana Bay (you can walk it in either direction), and is marked with the sign of the Oystercatcher. Parking is available at both the St. Blaize Cave in Mossel Bay and in Dana Bay.
