Make this less discovered region part of your holiday package to Africa and Cape Town. The Cape West Coast starts at Cape Point and stretches all the way to Namibia, offering delightful accommodation and packages for family adventures and couples’ retreats all along the way. This dynamic piece of Western Cape coastline boasts unspoilt white sandy beaches and wild stormy seas, the friendliest of traditional fishing communities, kite surfing bays and the azure water sports attraction of Langebaan Lagoon.
A self-drive holiday along the Western Cape’s West Coast – imagine vistas of stunning mountain ranges, geographical diversity, and the spring flowers towards Namaqualand in their riot of neon wildflowers. This is Route 27, running 270 km up the West Atlantic Coast, a very rewarding road to drive with its series of quaint historic towns and fishing villages – popular Lambert’s Bay, Paternoster, Saldanha and Langebaan.
We love the magical West Coast National Park which in flower season is a Cape West Coast bucket list destination – and the Fossil Park next door has uncovered over 200 different kinds of animals, many of them new to science! Make sure you take a walk on the 16 Mile Beach at Yzerfontein and watch famous South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Uys at his own “Evita’s Perron” in Darling.
Hiking in the rugged and spectacular Cedarberg should not be missed, its many rustic accommodation choices catering for adventure travellers on a budget. Stop to fish a bit at classic fishing dorp, Velddrif, and dine on fresh crayfish in a beach café at Paternoster.
