wp1/wiki/Hout_Bay#wp1World icon.png wp1 [[Hout Bay#wp1|wp1]] 34°04.106′S, 18°21.016′E (entrance to the bay)
wp2/wiki/Hout_Bay#wp2World icon.png wp2 [[Hout Bay#wp2|wp2]] 34°03.207′S, 18°21.332′E

wp4/wiki/Hout_Bay#wp4World icon.png wp4 [[Hout Bay#wp4|wp4]] 34°03.070′S, 18°20.983′E (harbour entrance)

Dangers:

  • Vessels approaching from the North should give the mainland a wide berth past "Oude Schip" as there are many submerged rocks in that area.
  • Vessels approaching from the South should give Kommetjie a wide berth due to large waves in that area at times.
  • All Vessels should note the presence of Vulcan Rock (34|03.967|S|18|18.582|E), a large semi-submerged rock that can not always be seen in the Northern approach.

Entrance

If there is no port of entry in the island omit this section.

If there is a port of entry submit details about facilities for checking in - where to dock, location of immigration & customs, etc.

Also in this case add Yes to the portofentry= item of the Infobox above.
