“You can not miss Gansbaai Tourism’s information centre next to White Shark Junction Mall, visible from the main road. I was surprised to find so much information. There was quite a lot of memorabilia. Books about the Overberg region, maps past and present, information about markets, places to visit, and promotional material on upcoming events. They also have a selection of gifts and curios. It is safe to say that the information centre is a must-visit.” Ilze
