Geography and History

Fish Hoek is a quaint coastal town set between ocean and mountain at the mouth of the Silver mine River on the False Bay side of the Cape Peninsula, in the Western Cape province of South Africa. This is one of the few original villages along the Cape coast that has retained its former character, and it is home to many small and interesting shops.

Fish Hoek is situated in a bay at the end of a broad, low valley, between two and three kilometres wide, which runs from East to west across the Cape Peninsula from Fish Hoek on the False Bay side to Noordhoek and Kommetjie on the Atlantic side.
