Sir Lowry's Pass is a mountain pass crossing the Hottentots Holland Mountains, connecting Somerset West to the Elgin Valley on the N2 highway. The summit sits at an elevation of approximately 460 meters. The pass serves as the primary gateway from Cape Town to the expansive fishing opportunities of the Overberg region and the eastern coastline of False Bay. The area is not a singular fishing water body but a critical transit point to a variety of inshore and nearshore saltwater environments, including the beaches of Gordon's Bay and Strand, and the productive waters beyond the pass leading toward Arniston and Cape Agulhas.
