About Vleesbaai
The ideal, very safe and peaceful holiday destination! Tired of the hustle and bustle, daily routine and the rat race of city life? Break away for a few days of peace and quietness, come to Vleesbaai seaside village! Situated at the western end of the well-known Garden Route, with untouched natural and sea surroundings and many kilometers of safe beach for walking and/or jogging and a very safe beach for swimming.

Fransmanshoek is a rocky peninsula and Nature Conservation Area about 4 km from Vleesbaai. Fransmanshoek (Frenchman) got its name from the wreck of the French ship, the "La Fortune" that stranded there in 1763.

Vlees Bay was named in 1601 by a Dutch commander and the name originated from the days when Portuguese and Dutch sailors traded goods with the local inhabitants, most probably the "Khoikhoi", for meat and cattle. "Vlees" or "Vleis" is the Afrikaans/Dutch word for meat.

For offshore visitors to Vleesbaai and the Garden Route, the George Airport is only a 45 minute drive away where you can rent a car and enjoy an unforgettable holiday to the Garden Route and the Southern Cape.
