Before Kleinmond is reached the road passes Elephant Rock Estate, a protea farm which derives its name from a huge rock high up int he mountain.

Kleinmond in Sandown Bay is a holiday resort 3km beyond the bridge over the Palmiet (bulrush) River.  The name is derived from the fact that the resort is located at a  small mouth of the lagoon of the Bot River.  The origins of the settlement, which has a fishing harbour and permanent population of more than 2000 go back to 1929 when the Revd P K Albertyn of Caledon built the first holiday cottage.

* The 650ha Kleinmond Coastal and Mountain Reserve stretches eastward from the Palmiet River and has more than 1200 species of coastal and mountain fynbos, a milkwood scrub forest and some 40 other tree species.  An 8km walk leading to tidal pools and inlets with a wealth of marine life also gives access to several trails through the reserve.

* Among the famous who had a holiday cottage at Kleinmond was Afrikaans author D F Malherbe, who used the area as a setting for his best known novel, Hans die Skipper.
