The Hout Bay Harbour Market runs on Saturday mornings on the waterfront, alongside the working fishing harbour. It is one of the more pleasant small markets on the Cape Peninsula — compact enough to browse in an hour, with a good mix of fresh produce, craft work, hot food, and fish sold straight off the boats. The setting, with the harbour and mountains behind, is hard to improve on.
Arrive early if you want the best fish selection — the boats come in before dawn and the stall holders buy direct. The market fills up by mid-morning with a mix of locals and visitors, and the coffee options are decent. It pairs naturally with the Duiker Island seal trip, which departs from the same harbour.
