Hondeklip Bay, Northern Cape
- Hondeklip Bay, Northern Cape
Hondeklip Bay (Afrikaans "Hondeklipbaai", which translates as "dog rock bay") is a coastal village in the Namakwa district of the Northern Cape province of South Africa. It lies about 95km south west of the district capital Springbok.
This village was originally used as a harbour to export copper ore from the mines around Springbok but was later surpassed by Port Nolloth, which had a safer harbour as well as a railway line.
Today Hondeklip Bay is a popular regional holiday destination and serves the fishing and diamond-mining community.
