WHAT TO DO AND SEE
From the Sanparks website, the following:
"Just inland from the secluded harbour of Saldanha Bay one finds the azure waters of the Langebaan Lagoon,
focal point of the West Coast National Park. Thousands of seabirds roost on sheltered islands, pristine
golden beaches stretch endlessly into the early morning mist and brooding salt marshes are home to vast
concentrations of migrant waders from the northern hemisphere. During the spring the strandveld is
embroidered with a tapestry of multi-hued flowers, while in the Postberg section many antelope are
to be seen in a setting that is as unique as it is idyllic."
We can only agree and add that it is worth a visit for:
• Birding
• Flowers in season
