Betty's Bay is a small holiday town situated on the Overberg coast of South Africa's Western Cape province.

It is located 100 km from Cape Town beneath the Kogelberg Mountains on the scenic R44 ocean drive between Pringle Bay and Kleinmond.

When the former whaling station was closed, the endemic and endangered Southern African penguins started breeding here.

[4] Due to the town's location on the south-western coast and surrounding mountainous geography it receives near constant wind and ample rain throughout the year, With south-easterly winds bringing the occasional thunderstorm from the warmer eastern coast in summer, while winter brings persistent North-westerly to occasional Southerly frontal rain, sometimes hail, which can be very heavy at times.

Betty's Bay has a warm Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csb) with relatively strong marine west coast oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) influence for the region, which sees pleasant warm temperatures in summer, and mild to cool temperatures in winter with the threat of rain throughout the year.
