Gordon’s Bay is a town that also sits on False Bay, but directly across the bay from Simon’s Town on the bay’s eastern side. On this side of False Bay, the current is fairly minimal which make it ideal for novice divers. On this side of False Bay, the waters are warmer as well, which attracts a huge number of different marine species.
