Langebaan and the West Coast
Langebaan - the area
Langebaan sits at the mouth of the scenic Langebaan Lagoon.  The lagoon spans 17 km in length and is 4 km wide.  The West Coast National Park forms the southern boundary of the town with the lagoon the centerpiece.  As Langebaan has increased awareness for both ecotourism and cultural tourism, it has begun to draw more tourists.

The town is also benefiting from the raised profile of the West Coast as a distinct, relatively environmentally unspoiled and archeologically rich area.

Major Attractions
The West Coast National Park and flower season are the town’s major attractions.

  • Bird watching in the internationally acclaimed wetland site including four bird islands.
  • An 18-hole golf course at Langebaan Country Club.
  • Whale watching from the park’s peninsula.
  • Hiking trails and horse riding
  • Safe bathing in the Langebaan lagoon.
  • Sport fishing and water sports including windsurfing, yachting, sailing, water skiing and kite flying.
  • The site of ‘eve’s footprint’ and the newly opened Fossil Park.
Local Cuisine
Popular seafood like crayfish, traditional ‘kontreikos’ such as veldkool and waterblommetjie bredie, the hinterland’s game, poultry, organic vegetables, fruit and wheat products, plus two-wine growing areas, namely the Olifants and Swartland areas.
