Langebaan, Jewel of the West Coast, is an idyllic little seaside town, located at the edge of a tranquil lagoon, just over 140kms North West of Cape Town. The seasons on the West Coast are beautiful and dramatic, with a fascinating array of fauna and flora.
This historical town was once a whaling station but has now been transformed into fabulous holiday destination, a mecca for nature-lovers and water sport enthusiasts alike.
The lagoon with its sandy beaches is part of a protected area, the West Coast National Park, and is also excellent for all kinds of water sport including sailing, wind surfing, fishing swimming, water skiing, kite-surfing, and bird-watching. There also is a fantastic golf course just outside the village.
During the flower season (August to October) the landscape is transformed into a giant garden as the area explodes into a riot of colours when the wild flowers bloom. During winter one might catch sight of a Southern Right Whale in the lagoon.
Sunsets on the west-facing coast are legendary and you'll experience plenty of dramatic moments. You will leave with memories of startling blue sea, acres of spring flowers and the enticing smell of fish braai's. You will return again and again to this magnificently beautiful place!
