The Cliff Path, which is accessibly directly opposite the apartment, is perhaps the most popular trail in Hermanus stretching from the New Harbour for about 12km along the rugged coastline all the way to Grotto beach promising incredible sea views (keep your eyes peeled for whales in season June-Dec).
