Paternoster is a simple fishing village ideal for escaping the bustle of the city.The Cape Columbine Nature Reserve, just 5km away, covers a rocky stretch of coastline. Huge boulders crouch around little bays. In spring the area is covered in a bright tapestry of wild flowers. Visit the lighthouse which stands at 80m above sea level rising from Castle Rock. Whales and dolphins visit this coastline for ten months of the year.
