Bask in the unspoiled beauty of the Atlantic coastline at West Coast National Park. Covering 27,500 hectares (67,954 acres) of coastal landscapes, the park is known for its abundant population of birdlife, scattered across hidden beaches, lagoons, and rock formations. Explore the lagoons to spot flamingoes and dramatic coastal scenery, or venture farther into the plains to see antelopes, mountain zebras, and ostriches.

The park was nice and clean and the roads are well maintained. Entrance was R100 for adults. The flowers in Postberg was a bit disappointing although it was a sunny day, so not sure why some weren’t really open. It is very far to drive in from the Langebaan entrance gate. Also didn’t see much wildlife. Perhaps another time might be a better experience! Visited on 21 August.

The flowers are not so good this year but still a nice day out in nature and take a drive through Postberg. Best way to enjoy the park is from the R27 gate entrance. For me it is more beautiful than from Langebaan. Entrance for SA Adults R100 pp. Lots of bird species, bucks, zebras and ostriches. Also braai and picnic spots available. The Geelbek restaurant was a great disappointment since we visit it a few years ago.
