The West Coast PDF Print E-mail

The West Coast is a region of contrasting beauty. These include the beautiful coastal region which at times can be desolate with its numerous small fishing villages. Inland lies the grain and wine farms of the Swartland and Sandveld and further north the citrus, Rooibos and wines of the Olifantsrivier Valley, while the spectacular magnificence of the scenic Cederberg and Groot Winterhoek Mountains and the arid beauty of Namaqualand and the Knersvlakte even further north. The scenic beauty of this solitary coast is complemented by its plentiful sea life, with dishes like mussels, crayfish or line fish pulled from the cold water of the Benguela Current, offering the visitor a rich and unique culinary experience.

Migrating whales visit the coastal waters from July to December and heavyside dolphins are often sighted. The region is also a bird watcher´s paradise as bird life abounds and travelling waders, seabirds and birds of prey are just part of the variety offered by this beautiful region of the Cape.

In early spring a paradise of white arum lilies sweep the natural folds of hills and gentle breezes move softly through fields of daisies, as "Bokbaai vygies" from a sea of colour contrasting with the blue of the ocean.

The summer sun is kissing the Cape West Coast and inviting you to play. Come do some absailing in the Swartland, skydiving in the beautiful Olifants River Valley, rock climbing in the Cederberg, hiking on the plains of the Maskam, windsurfing on the West Coast or simply kick back and enjoy the endless sunshine days.
