Hout Bay still has a working harbour, and is well known as a fishing village. There are many different boat trips and water sports to suit all tastes and experience levels.

Hout Bay has a few shopping centres and many small shops that are worth visiting.

The Mainstream Shopping Centre has a Woolworths (equivalent to Marks & Spencer in the UK), Clicks (equivalent to Boots UK), hairdressers, gift shops, liquor store, restaurants, clothing/fashion stores, toy shop, pharmacy and much more!

Visit the Hout Bay Craft Market on Sundays (across the road from the Post Office in Main Rd) to see a wealth of local arts and crafts. Explore the strech of Main Road between Princess Street and the beach for some interesting shops. You'll find curios, locally made arts & crafts, clothes, bathing suits, etc. Also visit the arts & crafts shop at the Oakhurst Centre in Main Road (towards Constantia) - they have excellent locally made gifts and curios, at very reasonable prices.

You will be able to see a whole variety of art in the galleries of Hout Bay. They support the local artists, and will be able to give you further information about what is available here. Please e-mail them to learn more about the art they exhibit and sell.
