After leaving Langebaan, the TomTom took me the 'back way' and I dutifully followed - only to find myself at the gates of the West Coast National Park .... so for the princely sum of 40 Rand [about £3] I decided it was worth the detour ...
The West Coast National Park is ~120 km north of Cape Town. It's 27,500 hectares (106 sq mi) in size, and is bordered by the Atlantic on the west and the R27 coastal road to the East, and runs from the town of Yzerfontein in the south up to the Langebaan
lagoon. The park is particularly well known for its bird life and for
the spring flowers which occur in the months from August to October,
especially in the Postberg flower reserve section of the park. The park,
with the islands in Saldhana Bay, has been identified by Bird Life International as an Important Bird Area.
