Peers Cave - nr Fish Hoek, Cape Town

Peers Cave is an archaeological and historical site located in Fish Hoek, Cape Town. Situated on the slopes of the mountain overlooking Fish Hoek Bay, this cave is renowned for its significance in South Africa’s prehistory, particularly due to its well-preserved rock art and archaeological findings. In 1926 Victor Peers and his son Bertie came across a large cave on the sand dune ridge which at the time was known as Schildergat cave. They came across items they suspected to be artifacts and had them examined, their suspicions were then confirmed. The two were then trained in techniques to be used in an archaeological dig and began excavation on the cave in 1927. They found relics such as stone stools, spear heads, ostrich beads, shell pendants as well was the remains of a number of bodies. One of the skulls has been recorded as being 12000 years old and has been named, Fish Hoek Man. The cave was later named after the father and son team and became known as Peers Cave.

Historical and Archaeological Importance: Peers Cave is most notable for its ancient rock engravings, which date back thousands of years. These rock carvings are attributed to the indigenous San people, who inhabited the region long before European settlement. The cave’s art provides valuable insights into the cultural and spiritual practices of the San people, offering a glimpse into their lives and beliefs. The cave has been studied extensively, and its findings contribute to the understanding of prehistoric human activity in the Cape Peninsula.

Natural Features and Access: The cave is situated in a natural setting with dramatic views of Fish Hoek and the surrounding landscape. It is nestled within a rugged, rocky area, which adds to its historical ambiance and isolation. Visitors can reach the cave by following a relatively easy hiking trail that offers scenic views of the coastline and nearby mountains. The site is accessible to those interested in both archaeology and nature, providing an opportunity to explore the intersection of natural beauty and historical significance.

Conservation and Respect: As a site of historical and cultural importance, Peers Cave is protected and conservation efforts are in place to preserve its rock art and archaeological features. Visitors are encouraged to respect the site by not touching or disturbing the rock engravings and by adhering to any guidelines provided by local authorities. The cave serves as a reminder of the rich and ancient history of the Cape Peninsula and offers an enriching experience for those interested in South Africa's prehistoric heritage.

For those interested in visiting the cave, you can still gain entrance but only after a tiring climb up the sand dunes which guard its entrance.
