Surfers find good conditions here and dense kelp forests in the shallow water are good grounds for snorklers and divers.Kommetjie boasts the highest lighthouse on the South African coast. The Slangkop Lighthouse is 100 feet high, entirely made from steel and became operational in 1919. The rotating light has a range of 33 nautic miles.
