Probably the least strenuous way to go whale watching in the world – sit on a bench with a beer and wait

Birkenhead Beer at Bientang's Cave while whale watching, Hermanus

This is the view from Bientang’s Cave restaurant in Hermanus, South Africa, where southern right whales can be regularly spotted breaching the water from the shoreline. The restaurant is in prime spotting position and you can have a glass of the fine local brew, Birkenhead beer, in celebration or commiseration of whether you see the whales or not.
