Mossel Bay may seem like a sleepy harbour town. But when darkness creeps up, it turns on the charm in a big way. From toe-tapping music, tantalising dishes to gaming pleasures, there's a lot to make your night unforgettable. Here are some of the cool activities you can enjoy whatever your mood.
For the clubber
Clear the dance floor, you've arrived. The Vibe is Mossel Bay's local dance, disco and DJ venue. With a newly renovated bar and dance area, the club will keep you spinning into the early hours of the morning.
For the food lover
There're plenty of eateries here that would impress even the pickiest hipster. Treat yourself to a mouthwatering pizza at Jackal on the Beach or stuff your face with ribs at The Cork & Plunger. For a South African experience, opt for Kaai 4 Braai Restaurant's potjiekos.
For the romantic
It's a cliché but a nighttime stroll on the beach is romantic. The starry sky casts a warm glow and the gentle lap of waves creates a peaceful ambience. Combine this with the pristine beauty of Santos Beach and you have the perfect spot to pop that big question.
For the adventurer
Resolved to learn something new? Tick that off your list at WildX Adventures. With their segway adventure trails, you'll whiz around exploring the outdoors. Be warned: Once you master the balance factor, it's incredibly addictive.
For the family
With the holidays coming up, you might be looking for family-friendly activities. Save your sanity with a trip to Blasters Mossel Bay. There's a giant indoor jungle gym for youngsters while older kids can play putt-putt, arcade games or pool.
For the 'spirited'
You love gin and you'll adore it even more at Inverroche Gin School. Come in during the day and learn to make your very own brew. You can spend the night enjoying it with bite-sized canapés, lightly smoked rooibos salmon nigiri and "vetkoek" with bobotie mince.
For the music fan
Mossel Bay has a thriving music scene. Dress to the nines (or tens to really wow) and go for a concert. For some old-school jazz and blues tune, look to Sky Lounge. For head-banging action, make your way to Zeppelins Rock and Roll Bar.
For the trivia buff
So you think you have the best general knowledge? Perhaps it's time to put it to the test. In Mossel Bay, you have your pick of pub quizzes. Try Friends Pub and Grill or Santos Express Train Lodge for a fun night out.
For the culture crazy
Get a heady dose of nostalgia at Monroe Theatre. They regularly screen vintage movies that will have you reliving the best moments of cinema's Golden Age. You can even don some vintage threads for a charming photo shoot.
For the thrill-seeker
If you want to add some excitement to your night, Garden Route Casino is your best bet. You'll have your choice of 422 slot machines, blackjack, poker and roulette table games. You can even enter a promotion for a chance to win an amazing prize.
For the fitness freak
Maybe you want to make your night a productive one. With Oxigim Fitness Club, you can look your best. Simply sign up for a Total Body Resistance Exercise or Aerobics class and enjoy the benefits of a good workout.
For the memory maker
A tattoo can be a powerful way to mark a milestone in your life. For professional service, turn to the experts at Inkscribed Tattoos. They only close at 9 pm on weekdays so you'll have enough time to discuss your potential design.
