Elands Bay is a town in South Africa, situated in the Western Cape Province, on the Atlantic Ocean, at 32°18′S 18°19′E / 32.300°S 18.317°E / -32.300; 18.317. The town is located about 220 kilometres (two and a half hours drive) north from Cape Town. It is a world class surfing location and is also noted for its caves, which have a number of rock paintings.[2]

In 2009, Heritage Western Cape declared the Elands Bay Cave and most of Baboon Point (Cape Deseada), on which it is located, as a provincial heritage site.[3] Eland's Bay along with much of this coastline is an "important" bird habitat.[citation needed] The local wetland, Verlorenvlei, is a Ramsar wetland.[citation needed]
