The West Coast
The West Coast of South Africa is largely unspoiled. Seagulls, cormorants,
Cape gannets, duikers and terns outnumber the human population by a million
to one. Bird watching, both on land and at sea, is an activity that attracts
many visitors to the area.
Hikers making their way down the coast from the West Coast Park, situated along the warm waters of the beautiful Langebaan Lagoon, down miles of white and sandy beaches towards the dense reed lined shores of the Berg River mouth at Veldrift, will encounter many more. Varieties of flamingo, oyster catchers, penguin, pelicans, eagles and many other birds of prey, as well as species as unique as the snake catching Secretary bird.
Undoubtedly however one of the West Coast's main attractions are the flowers. The region is home to over 1200 species of flowering plants, many of which are endemic. In the early spring tourists come from all over the world, by car, plane or trains, to witness the coast burst into breath taking colours.
Part of the reason for the abundance of its plant life is the fresh sea air, and there is plenty of that. Saldanha Bay, with its five islands, is one of the largest natural harbours in Africa. The bay is a favourite amongst sailors, kite surfers and skiers. It also offers unequalled fishing, deep sea diving and kayaking. And for any tourist who might be a novice at any of these sports there are many who are fully equipped to help you learn.
The bay and its surrounds are also rich in history. Not only did the first European sea traders set foot here some 500 years ago, there is also fossilised evidence that one of the earliest of men, the 'Saldanha Man', was present here 117.000 years back. The West Coast Fossil Park is the most prolific source of late Tertiary vertebrate fossil in the world.
