There are also shovel-snouted lizards, palmetto gecko and fog-basking beetles. There are also various snakes and scorpions that can be sighted very seldom. Sandwich Harbour is also home to springbok, ostrich, black-backed jackal and the brown hyena.Young seals can also be seen frolicking about on the beach near Sandwich Harbour and visitors can also see bottlenose and heaviside dolphins.
