 | | Saldahna Bay Municipality is located on the west coast in the Western Cape Province of South Africa and comprises Hopefield, Langebaan, Paternoster, Saldanha, St. Helena Bay and Vredenburg. |
 | | It has accommodation for a large fleet with deep water close inshore, but the arid nature of the adjacent countryside caused it to be neglected by the early navigators, and with the growth of Cape Town, Saldanha Bay was rarely visited. |
 | | Saldanha Bay is named after Antonio de Saldanha, captain of a vessel in Albuquerque's fleet which visited South Africa in 1503. |
