Bethulie's nearby attractions: “Tussen die Riviere” Game Farm (15km from Bethulie) – situated at the confluence of the Orange and Caledon Rivers, the reserve offers game viewing and spectacular bird life. Gariep Dam Wall – (56km from Bethulie) – a tarred road follows an attractive route along the dam to the wall. The Orange River Bridge (the Hennie Steyn Bridge) – the longest bridge in South Africa spans 1.2km and carries road and rail traffic between the Free State and the Eastern Cape. The Pellisier House Museum, the Concentration Camp (3km from Bethulie), and several Monuments and Graves offer interesting historical viewing. Bethulie Dam – a lovely lake offering fishing and idyllic surrounds (sadly its accommodation facilities are in limbo pending a major up-grade). THE NIGHT SKY – PROBABLY SEEN MORE CLEARLY FROM BETHULIE THAN FROM ANYWHERE ELSE ON earth.
