Smitswinkel Bay (Afrikaans: Smitswinkelbaai) is a bay on the Atlantic Ocean at the southern end of the Cape Peninsula.[1] It is located between Simon's Town and the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.[2][3] The name "Smitswinkel" means "the blacksmith's shop," possibly derived from two rocks in the bay that resemble an anvil and a bellows.[4]
