The unspoilt Western Cape coastline
The unspoilt Western Cape coastline plays host to an abundance of animal and marine life. Shelley Bay, in particular, is renowned for the diversity of wildlife in its lush surroundings and clear waters. Home-owners will be exposed to:
|
 |
- Crayfish, Abalone and White and Black Mussels in abundance
- Schools of Dolphins
- Whales for most of the year
(including mates, and mothers with calves)
- Black Cormarants (Swart Duiker), which migrate around Shelley Point every morning and evening

West Coast character
Shelley Point aims to retain a serene white-washed West Coast character. To ensure that the Shelley Point Peninsula remains unspoilt, an environmentally friendly approach was applied to the underground installation of all services, such as electricity and telephone cables.

 |
Our concern for Shelley Bay's natural beauty, and other general aesthetic considerations, have shaped the following site features:
- The preservation of 400 fully grown palm trees (70 years old, weighing up to 25 tons)
- Boardwalk access to beaches to protect sensitive ecology
- Underground electricity and telephone lines
- Fountains built by Belgium craftsmen
- Planned small boat harbour
(At a site rated the best South African location for a small boat harbour by CSIR)
