The Santos Pavilion E - Mossel Bay, Western Cape
The Santos Pavilion in Mossel Bay, Western Cape, is a historic landmark dating back to the early 20th century. Originally constructed in 1916, the Pavilion served as a seaside bathing and entertainment venue, offering visitors changing rooms, social gatherings, and picturesque views of Santos Beach. Over the years, it has undergone several restorations to preserve its Edwardian architecture and charm, making it a nostalgic reminder of Mossel Bay’s coastal heritage. Today, the Pavilion stands as a symbol of local history, attracting tourists and serving as a venue for cultural and community events.
A local architect of the town travelled to the Royal Pavilion in Brighton to get ideas for the Pavilion in Mossel Bay and it was then built in l9l6 by WJR Swart, strangely enough these are the last two remaining beach pavilions in use from colonial times. During the 1920s and 1930s the Pavilion was a social meeting place for the local comunity who regularly gathered there to listen to the bands playing and to socialise. The Pavilion hosted the then Prince of Wales, Prince Edward, while on his visit to South Africa in 1925. 54 years later the roof and woodwork were destroyed in a fire and the property was due to be demolished. A private company took the building over and restored it to its former glory before being granted a long lease of 30 years on the building in 1986.
Today the Santos Pavilion is home to a restaurant, where visitors can dine with expansive views of the ocean or take a stroll on the beach.
