ROAD BT HONDEKLIP BAY & KLEINSEE:
From Hondeklip Bay you take the road to Koiingnaas. From there you take the tar road all the way to Kleinsee. No permit required, the road is now open to the public.
There are tracks leading off this main tar road towards the sea and which generally have gates on them, which you are not allowed to enter. This sand track that hugs the coast from Hondeklip Bay to Kleinsee, passes through a section that has been declared a nature reserve, and requires "permission". There are some new mining concessions along the coastal route and access requirements can change at any time. (You can try to contact the Strandveld Conservation Club for permission to enter: +27(0)27 877 0028 / +27(0)76 642 0868). (2018).
