The Cape West Coast (Weskus) is a place awe-inspiring, jaw-droppingly beautiful, and so magical, you would need weeks to take it all in. Stretching from Malmesbury to the border of the Northern Cape at Touws River. The Cape West Coast is best known for its beautiful beaches and the quaint, towns that populate the region and the beautiful sight of the wild flowers in spring.
The West Coast coastline is nothing short of picturesque. You won’t know if you’re really in South Africa or actually on a Greek island. Definitely enjoy the white beaches and turquoise waters, but be sure to also venture inland.
Towns such as Langebaan, Lambert’s Bay, Paternoster, Jocobsbaai, Saldanha have all become a home-away-from-home for many Western Cape locals and are havens for those looking to escape the city.
The area offers diverse scenery from calm turquoise ocean, magnificent sand dunes to incredible sandstone rock formations. The Cederberg is known for its harsh rocky outcrops, and the Rocklands Climbing area is a tick-box for any active climber – rookie or veteran – looking to test his skills.
Places to visit: Westcoast National Park, West Coast Fossil Park, !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Centre, and Bokkomlaan in Velddrif.
