Fauneya

Two iconic South African reefs about 90 km apart, both on the path of the 'Sardine Run'. Whitespotted wedgefish aggregate in good numbers during the austral summer, often seen cruising the sandy channels between the rocks. These same reefs are renowned for tiger, bull and hammerhead shark encounters.
