SANParks: West Coast National Park

The focal point of West Coast National Park is undoubtedly Langebaan Lagoon, where kite boarders reign supreme and families from all backgrounds can be found sticking their toes into the cool golden sand. Long stretches of beach give way to salt marshes, inhabited by thousands of pink flamingoes, and further into the landscape, you’ll likely see a variety of tortoises, birds of prey and antelope.
