The small fisherman villages bordering the coast, with their white houses and long beaches, give a charming atmosphere to this coast.

The West Coast also offers high-quality products like wine around Swartland, slow brewed craft beers and high quality seafood. The local people will be delighted to share the specialities of their region. If you are fond of good food, you should not be disappointed.

Day 1: Cape Town - West Coast National Park - Swartland - Jacobsbaai

The first drive along the Atlantic Ocean will lead you to the extraordinary West Coast National Park. It is the bird lover’s kingdom all year long where you can see, for example, many waders during the summer. The relaxed hike across the park is a fantastic way to watch them walking along the turquoise-blue lagoon called Langebaan. During the spring (Aug-Sep), imagine the strandveld vegetation forming large carpets of multi-colors wild flowers in the all park. It is gorgeous! This park is a must-see for everybody looking for a worthwhile breakaway enjoying the fresh air with great countryside and a fine sea view. If you are lucky enough, you will maybe see some hidden shy animals like ostriches, zebras or tortoises.
At Swartland, it is your taste buds’ turn to be enthrall thanks to a surprising palette of local wines and handcrafted toffees. The quality of their wine is really outstanding and you will have the opportunity to purchase your favorite bottles at an affordable price.
The day ends at Jacobsbaai where you can watch a tranquil sunset on the Atlantic Ocean from your accommodations.

Day 2: Jacobsbaai - Paternoster - Blouberg - Cape Town

Still northwards of the country, Paternoster is a picturesque fishing village where Capetonians like to come. With its colorful small boats on the beach and its relaxed lifestyle, it is a pleasant place to visit on foot or horse-riding, as you will have the opportunity to try. During the crayfish season, the village comes alive and everybody eats the famous West Coast Kreef: a delectable seafood experience!
On the way back to Cape Town, Blouberg will provide you with one of the most amazing views of Table Mountain across the bay. Your pictures are going to be worthy of postcards and you will easily understand why the name of this place means “Blue Mountain”.
