Kalk Bay (pronounced "Cork Bay") started its existence as lime-producing town. In case you're wondering if there's a link between the word "kalk" and lime - there is! The Dutch (and Afrikaans) word "kalk" means "chalk" - which is a form of limestone. So the literal translation of Kalk Bay would be Chalk Bay. :)

Caulk might have been a better choice for pronunciation than cork.

Post authorTrue, but the spelling of caulk just looks so odd. Well, to me at least. Not that spelling is my forte, you know. :)
