Hermanus is famous for more than just the whales, and the Saturday markets are one example of this. There are several to choose from: there is a typical farmer’s market, where local farmers bring their organic produce to sell; there is also a “foodie” market, the Hermanuspietersfontein Boeremark, which focuses on more luxurious food, and the fantastic local wines; the Onrus market is parts arts and crafts market and part car boot sale, whilst there is another arts and craft market focused more on artwork and clothing. Basically if you enjoy shopping and browsing then you should try to leave yourself a free Saturday in Hermanus!
