Vleesbaai, a seaside vacation town, situated between Mossel Bay and Gouritsmond in Western Cape, South Africa.
==History== Vleesbaai is known today by the name it was given by European explorers. The first European to set eyes on the bay now known as Vleesbaai was Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias in 1488. Dias would have come into the bay, as he discovered the southern shores of the African continent en route to the East, in the process of establishing the spice route.
