Lambert's Bay is a small fishing town in the Western Cape province of South Africa situated 280 kilometres (170 mi) north of Cape Town.

Although primarily a fishing town, it has become a significant tourist attraction on the West Coast due to its moderate all-year climate.

In 1887 Mr Stephan bought the commercial buildings and built the hotel in 1888.

Lambert's Bay was used as a lay-up for British warships during the war of 1900–1902 and in 1901 HMS Sybille was wrecked opposite Steenbokfontein.

The first crayfish factory was started by Mr Lindström in 1918.
