Langebaan
Langebaan and West Coast National Park
A turquoise lagoon on a coastline better known for its cold, moody Atlantic — Langebaan is the exception, its sheltered, shallow waters warm enough for swimming and calm enough for kite surfers to carve long, easy lines across the bay. The lagoon sits within the West Coast National Park, drawing flamingos and other coastal birdlife alongside the watersports crowd. A full seafood feast at the Strandloper, eaten barefoot on the sand, is the local rite of passage.
