Coat of arms
Gordon's Bay was a municipality from 1961 to 1996. The town council assumed a coat of arms, designed by Schalk Pienaar, in July 1962,[6] and registered it with the Cape Provincial Administration in November 1962[7] and at the Bureau of Heraldry in November 1988.[8]
The arms were : Per chevron, the chief barry wavy Argent and Azure and the base Vert, in chief two anchors and in base a protea slipped and leaved, Or. In layman's terms, the shield was divided in two by a chevron-shaped line, the upper half displaying two golden anchors on a background of silver and blue wavy stripes, and the lower half a golden protea flower on a green background.
The crest was a yacht in full sail, and the motto Sol et salubritas.
