The scenic West Coast region stretches over 400km of unspoilt beauty. It offers a variety of travel destinations, pristine beaches and rich geographical diversity, however the West Coast’s biggest asset remains the warm reception of its residents. True West Coast hospitality is best enjoyed over a plate of fresh seafood or next to a fish barbeque.

Along the scenic coastline, you will come across charming seaside villages including Yzerfontein, Langebaan, Saldana Bay, Paternoster, to name but a few. These places are renowned for their serene beaches, inspiring nature scenes and rugged beauty. Long sun-filled days can be spent fishing, strolling on the beach, engaging in the variety of water sports offered, or simply taking in the surroundings. At the end of a perfect day, you can watch the sun slowly setting over the Atlantic Ocean.

The West Coast is a nature lover’s playground with a number of nature parks scattered over the area. The West Coast National Park, with the Langebaan Lagoon as its vocal point, is probably the most popular. Thousands of seabirds roost on sheltered islands, while the salt marshes host an interesting variety of migratory birds. Activities offered by the park include hiking, bird watching, whale watching, kite surfing and kayaking.

If there is ever a time to visit the West Coast, it’s spring. Carpets of colourful flowers cover the region, turning the veld into a spectacular display of the region's fynbos and spring flowers. Tourists come from all over to witness this amazing event that stretches from June to September. But it is not only tourists that visit the West Coast during spring. Southern Right whales flock to the coastline annually to calve and rear their young. These gentle giants dazzle excited whale watchers between July and October, before returning to the icy feeding ground near Antarctica. 

West Coast property is known to be extremely sought after, offering the peaceful lifestyle that most people yearn for. Whether you are purchasing a holiday home, a family home, a seaside sanctuary to enjoy once you’ve retired or a weekend getaway, property on the West Coast won’t disappoint.
