Duiker Island

★★★★☆ (41)

The small rocky islet marked on maps and charts as “Duikereiland“ has become known locally as “Seal Island“ due to the resident colony of seals, which has become a tourist attraction. It should not be confused with Seal Island in False Bay.

Granite boulders and outcrops over an extensive area. No sand seen, but lots of kelp. The anchorage has a relatively level rocky bottom and is to some extent protected from the swell.
