Hotels in West Coast, Western Cape, South Africa
West Coast, Western Cape is a strip of South Africa's Atlantic shore, famous for its spring wildflower explosion in August and September and for seafood villages like Paternoster. The Mediterranean climate brings mild, rainy winters ideal for hiking through daisy-filled fields in West Coast National Park, while hot, dry summers let you windsurf on Langebaan Lagoon (water temps around 68°F/20°C). In September, you can also spot southern right whales from the cliffs near Eland's Bay, or during winter, dig into a pot of West Coast mussels at Vredendal's seafood market.
