Camino Itinerary
Day 0, 3 Jan: Arrival at Sunset Lodge
Meet fellow pilgrims and settle into the rest house. Arrive anytime after 4pm and before dark.
Day 1, 4 Jan: Sunset Lodge ➝ Lampiesbaai (14km)
This coastal route follows footpaths and sandy tracks along the quiet St Helena Bay coastline, an area historically linked to St James by early settlers. Madoda, a local chaperone, will help you experience the land through local eyes.
Day 2, 5 Jan: Lampiesbaai ➝ Paternoster (24km)

Day 3, 6 Jan: Paternoster ➝ Afsaal (17km)
Some sections are tough, with loose stones and uneven paths- sturdy shoes are essential. Chaperones from Pelgrims Place Rehabilitation Centre walk with you. Tides and terrain shift often, so stay alert and open to the unexpected.

The route follows quiet gravel roads and mostly flat ground, making for an easygoing walk through wide open landscapes. End after the day's walk.
