Exploring Hermanus from here

Hermanus sits on Walker Bay, where southern right whales arrive from about June each year. Hermanus Tourism gives the whale season as July to November, peaking in September and November, and the town Cliff Path runs roughly 12 km along the shoreline from the New Harbour to Grotto Beach, giving land-based viewing along its length.
