Caledon is situated on the main south coast highway, the N2, 113km from central Cape Town. The Caledon district is primarily an agricultural region. Most agricultural activities involve grain production with a certain amount of stock farming. The town is locally well known for the Caledon Spa and Casino and for its rolling hills and yellow canola fields in spring.

The town has a Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Temperatures are modified by its close proximity to the South Atlantic Ocean, just over the Kleinriviers Mountains to the south. The writer Peter Dreyer was born in Caledon at the Caledon Baths Hotel in 1939.
