The West Coast
is a region of extreme beauty and contrast. Stretching
over 400km from south to north, the region offers
visitors plenty of sunshine and a surprising variety
of travel destinations.

Wine,
Flowers, Seafood, history and more... |
The Olifants River Wine Route winds for
200km along the fertile banks of the Olifants
River from Citrusdal to Lutzille.
In spring, the vegetation becomes a kaleidoscope
of vibrant colour attracting a large variety
of birdlife and visitors.

| The summer months, from mid
January to late March are harvest season,
and an excellent time to visit the region
- grapes, grape juice and wine, are in abundance
and visitors are always welcomed. |
|
To the west, the region
borders the Atlantic Ocean. The solitary
coast's scenic beauty is challenged
only by rich culinary experiences of
plump mussels, oysters, calamari, crayfish
and abalone in season or linefish pulled
from the Benguela Current's cold waters
and fried to gold. |
