History of Lambert's Bay

Originally known as Otterdam - but Between the years 1826 and 1840, Sir Robert Lambert - a formal british admiral surveryed the coastline for the Royal British Navy and proclaimed the area, renaming it to Lambert's Bay.

The development of the village started back in 1918 when a lobster canning factory was erected and in 1959 Bird ISland was joined by a breakwater to the mainland to give protection to the fleet of fishing boats in the harbour.

British ships often visited the area during the Anglo-boer war in 1901 and a gunboat ship named "sybille" ran aground at Steenboksfontein. You can find today, at the Lambert's Bay museum, remainders and salvaged items of this instence as well as at the "plaaskombuis" restaurant in Steenboksfontein.
