The West Coast Fossil Park is situated approximately 20km from Club Mykonos Resort and is world-renowned for its exceptionally well-preserved fossil faunal remains that date to the terminal Miocene/early Pliocene (circa 5.2 million years ago). A national and international team of researchers are currently unravelling the fascinating and unique history of fossils from the West Coast Fossil Park and attempting to recreate the environment and climate of the west coast some 5 million years ago. At this time many animals that are now extinct, such as saber-toothed cats, short-necked giraffes, hunting hyenas, and African bears roamed the west coast which then had a more subtropical climate with lush, riverine forests and open grasslands.

Unwrapping Cape Town with you

There's something exciting going on in Cape Town every week. Be the first to know what's new with our newsletter:

An oasis only an hour outside of Cape Town

Langebaan, like many other seaside towns, is filled with activities that suit the whole family. Located only an hour and a half from Cape Town, Langebaan is the perfect distance from the city to getaway for the day. They’ve got it all for all members of the family, and you certainly won’t regret the short trip along the R27 because it’ll take you straight to paradise. We’ve compiled a guide to some of the best places and things to do in this charming town.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SPENDING A DAY IN LANGEBAAN

LIFE’S A BEACH It’s well within the realms of reality that you’d want to spend a good portion of your day in Langebaan lounging on one of their stunning beaches. When I went to Langebaan, purely for research, I found myself sitting on a stunning beach, soaking up the sun and even venturing into the water for a dip. Was it wise? Probably not if the weather was less than 30 degrees, which coincidentally it wasn’t. Cape Town boats plenty of amazing blue-flag beaches so why should anyone bother going all the way to Langebaan? Quiet beaches are often the best beaches. You’ll have some time to relax with just the sound of the waves gently lapping the shore and the occasional sea-demon, I mean seagull. I spent a full two hours on Calypso Beach and it was the best way to start my day in Langebaan. I even saw a seal surfing in the waves; you can’t make this stuff up man.

GREECE AWAY FROM GREECE If you’re looking into spending a day in Langebaan, you’ve probably heard of Club Mykonos . This Greek-style casino and entertainment world is like nothing else you’ll find along the West Coast. There are plenty of restaurants and bars (on the beach side of course), plus lots of fun stuff for the the kiddies to do. You can join the fun and take the kids on a boat, teach them to sail and even let them have a go on the quad bikes. If you’re heading to Langebaan sans les enfants, then the casino is something you can also take advantage of! Gambling is not for everyone but is most certainly worth a try if you’ve never been.

Marc’s Beach Bar and its pirate ship shaped climbing frame is the perfect place to have a pre-lunch cool drink and maybe a few snacks while the kids play around and pretend they’re salty seadogs on an adventure into the deep blue sea. On Saturdays and Sundays, a musician will take to the stage and make your afternoon even more special. They’ll play music of their own creation, as well as old classics that everyone loves. The cocktail menu on offer is awesome, trust me I had the mojito and the sex on the beach, both of which were amazing.

Along the same beach as Marc’s Beach Bar is one other restaurant, which is charming and perfect for a bite to eat. Boesmanland Plaaskombuis has panoramic views of the ocean, a scrumptious menu and a very handy location. They do deliciously hearty meals, with homestyle breads made on site and we couldn’t be more relieved to see a place that still does potjie! Call me old school, but nothing does down better than a hot potjie and an ice cold beer.

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE The obvious choice for an afternoon visit is the West Coast National Park . It boasts thousands of local seabirds, a smorgasbord of flora (plants, not margarine), stunning views and fresh air like you’ve never experienced before. There is something very holistic about getting back to nature and reconnecting with mother earth, but no venue is more picturesque than the West Coast National Park. At certain times of the year, the wildflowers come into bloom and the entire park is decorated with flowers of all colours. It goes from fynbos greens and browns to bright purple, cheery orange, pristine white and icy blues. You can also get on a bike and explore some of their mountain biking trails, most of which are suitable for the whole family. There’s very few ways to work up an appetite stronger than physical exercise, so get a taste of adventure and a little workout at the same time!

Now, I realise that Elandsfontein Private Nature Reserve is a little outside of Langebaan, but who wouldn’t want to see little bokkies? It was once the home of the largest inland migration of game in the history of the province. You can get up close and personal with these animals from the comfort of the safari-bus. While there are no lions, that does not mean you won’t get to see one of the big five. That’s right, they recently introduced Cape Water Buffalo to the park and these giants need to be seen to be believed. On the three-hour game drive, you can expect to see kudu, gemsbok, zebra, black wildebeest, eland and more. Return to what Africa used to look like with game roaming free at Elandsfontein Private Nature Reserve.

LUNCH TIME IS THE BEST TIME Langebaan is no stranger to tourists, which is fair enough it is stunningly beautiful, but that’s beside the point - they have enough lunch venues to sink a ship, not literally. Boat sinking jokes aren’t really appreciated in small fishing towns.

Pearly’s on the Beach , true to its name, is actually on the beach. It overlooks Langebaan Lagoon, and you can see the kitesurfers learning their skills on the aquamarine water. It’s a very relaxing spot to grab a bite to eat, and their food is delicious. I had a pizza, and their offer (at the time) was half off all pizza’s; so it’s wallet-friendly too. Their strawberry daiquiris could easily match any of the bars in Cape Town and they’re about a third of the price of an inner city bar. All of the flavour without all of the money; sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Pearly’s also offer dinner, so if you find yourself drawn to another lunch venue, you can always circle back and have something delicious with the best view in Langebaan.

Cafe Graze Garden Restaurant , a hidden gem for sure, is also a lovely place to grab a bite to eat. Their garden section is adorable and their light lunch menu is perfect for hot summer days. The entrance is located through the Mooi Boutique, which is also well worth a visit if you’re in the mood for some shopping. Once you walk through, you’ll find yourself in a cool eden surrounded by artistic stone walls and littered with refreshing greenery. Their herb and cheese muffins will change your life and your opinion on savory muffins (if your current opinion is bad, if it’s good then it’ll simply reaffirm that love). They also do freshly baked goods everyday, of which the sweet variety are incredibly yummy.

If you’re not so hungry, and you just fancy a little something, you can also give The Pancake Place a go. I love pancakes, and I rarely need an excuse to eat one, but these are extra special. The Pancake Place even does savoury pancakes, waffles, samosas, bitterballen and sandwiches. If you want to have a bite to eat al fresco, you can order your yummies to go at no extra cost and go and relax on one of Langebaan’s stunning beaches (just make sure you paste on the suncream, in a battle between you and the sun, the sun will win everytime).

LET’S GO SHOPPING As I’ve said before, Langebaan caters for tourists, but they also have a host of shops that offer charming reminds of your visit, clothes for sale, adorable baby outfits and much more. I didn’t go in many, so I just thought I would list the shops I think are worth a visit:

C-Kat sells beach goods, souvenirs, sunblock, locally produced clothing and some Urchin Art pottery items (as well as other pottery names).

Mooi Boutique has the most divine locally made clothing. It’s all very stylish, lightweight for summer and most is made of real linen!

Neptune’s Cave has the most impressive selection of shell-related goods that I think I have ever seen. You name it, and they’ve probably made it out of shells. Think dream catchers, mobiles, wind chimes and even jewellery.

Kat-Too is another charming addition to the list; they have a much more hippie-style vibe and you will definitely find some of those flower-bag pants that are all the rage (to who, I am not sure). They also sell ceramics and one of a kind items that you’ll be sure to treasure forever.

THE WAVES ARE CALLING Watersports aren't for the weak hearted (jokes, they have lifejackets for that). You cannot possibly go to Langebaan and not try kitesurfing, it just doesn’t make sense. There are plenty of operators, tour guides and very skilled freelancers willing to teach you all you need to know to tackle the waves of the lagoon. It’s safe to say that the chance of getting eaten by a great white are considerably lower than the already minute chance of getting eaten in the actual ocean.

Here are some of the vendors that I saw on/near the beach in Langebaan and their contact details:

DARLING, GET DRESSED, IT’S TIME FOR DINNER Restaurants in Langebaan are incredibly diverse, meaning that everyone will find something they like to eat. They’ve got it all from fresh seafood and local meat products to Italian food and meal pairings. Wine is a big part of our lives, and Langebaan restaurants have a great selection for you to enjoy with your dinner.

First on the list is Breeze Restaurant and Wine Bar . They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily at their newly renovated location, just down the road from the main lagoon beach. Their menu includes burgers, curry, chicken and pasta, all of which can be paired with their wine menu seamlessly. All of the dishes were prepared and designed by James Preyser, and the restaurant requests that patrons do not order any substitutions.

If you are in the mood for a more relaxed meal, then Husky’s is the place for you. This chilled-out gastro pub offers delicious fare and cold beer. Husky’s is popular with locals and they also welcome the furrier patrons so you can bring your doggie along with you. Their nachos and burgers are good, but their tapas menu is even better. After a very busy day of activities and eating, you might not want a heavy meal and you simply must head to Husky’s for some tapas. Wash it down with some wine or beer and you’ve got yourself a pretty perfect evening.

Panorama at The Farmhouse Hotel has the best selection of seafood and an amazing view of the Lagoon. The interior of the restaurant is modern yet homely and you can even see into the kitchen directly! They take farm-style classics and add modern culinary twists to create a delicious menu filled with all of your favourite dishes.

Lastly, and certainly not least is Die Strandloper . This seafood restaurant is passionate about fresh delights straight from the ocean to your plate (after a stop in the kitchen for a bit of cooking), all of it served with a smile. Step onto the sand, head to your table and relax like is only possible at the seaside.

Insider Focus, Things to do in Langebaan with Léne Stuart

Léne Stuart is a 21-year-old, 3 rd year Human Resource Management student at the University of South Africa. Not only is she a hardworking and diligent student, but she is also a full-time study advisor at an academic institution in Langebaan.

In 2007, Léne’s parents moved to Langebaan from Fourways, Johannesburg, when she was six. Her parents took this giant leap to give her and her older brother, Aldin, the chance to grow up with unprecedented freedoms and security that a small coastal town like Langebaan can offer.

Where is Langebaan?

Langebaan i s located 100km north of Cape Town, just off the R27. The town was founded in 1922 and was initially used as a whaling station until the 1960s. The closest towns are Vredenburg (20km) and Saldanha Bay (20 km). 

Langebaan is an idyllic kite surfer’s paradise and has salt water protected lagoon (16km long and 3km wide). It is the playground of the West Coast elite due to its national park, world-renowned birding spots and secure yacht club harbour at Club Mykonos in Langebaan. 

According to local reports, over 300 species of birds are found in the lagoon waters of the West Coast National Park. Moreover, whales can be spotted in the lagoon from October to November.

Interestingly, the town of Langebaan allows no industries to protect the town’s sensitive environment and culture as a fishing, holiday and retirement destination.    

Langebaan regularly hosts large-scale sporting events such as triathlons, the downwind dash, and cycling events, to name a few.  

10 questions to a Langebaan local - Léne Stuart

We caught up with this health-conscious, gym-fanatic, Langebaan resident and asked her a couple of questions about her hometown:

Why can you be regarded as an expert of Langebaan?

I have been calling Langebaan my home for the last 15 years. My Father, Charles, is a keen water sports enthusiast with an open water skipper’s license who enjoys showing us the beauty of the lagoon and surrounding areas. 

My mom, Daleen, is an avid nature lover with a passion for Langebaan’s bird life who often takes me bird-watching in the area. 

I have also been exploring all the sweet spots in Langebaan with my friends. 

For this reason, I consider myself an expert and a Langebaan local.

If you had to describe Langebaan in three words, what would they be?

Enchanting, fresh and scenic. 

I selected these three words because we have so much unspoiled nature here, our beaches are not crowded, and we have beautiful sunsets.

Why should people visit Langebaan?

Langebaan is an exotic tropical paradise with clear flat waters, a scenic lagoon, and white (fine) sandy beaches. 

Langebaan is a much more affordable destination (thanks to a good Rand to Euro currency) than for example, the Côte D’Azur, Mauritius or the Maldives that are comparable to our coastal town. 

Langebaan has a mild climate, the best natural scenery, the safest locations for tourists to explore, and if you pick the right time of the year to visit, the ideal weather [giggling] for kayaking, sailing, kite surfing, fishing and several other water sport activities. 

Most people in Langebaan speak English, and our locals are very friendly towards foreigners because we want them to have a positive experience at Langebaan. 

In my opinion, many small coastal towns in South Africa lack the class and lavishness that Langebaan has in terms of our restaurants and accommodation offerings. 

Even though, Langebaan can become terribly busy in season, it remains an extremely safe destination with hardly any crime.  

In contrast to Cape Town, which is a big city, Langebaan is a relaxed destination with a small town island vibe but also offering many activities for the more active holiday maker. 

What is there in Langebaan that is not often found anywhere else in South Africa?

We have not only excellent restaurants offering unique cultural experiences for foreigners, such the ‘Die Strandloper’ restaurant and ‘Boesmanland Plaaskombuis’ , but also several good charter companies offering deep-sea fishing trips, day trips on the lagoon and excursions to Kraalbaai . 

Sailing and kayaking are extremely popular on the lagoon.

What are the three must see attractions in Langebaan?

A visit to Langebaan is not complete without visiting the Shark Bay  area, which is about 5 minutes from Langebaan’s centre. I think it has the most scenic beach with the warmest water on Langebaan’s lagoon. 

A new café at the top of the walkway overlooks the lagoon. It is also a great spot to view the wildflowers in bloom during Spring (August to September). However, many of the best flower-viewing sites have disappeared since many buildings have been happening in the area. Shark Bay is also the best place to view the flamboyance of pink flamingos prancing in the lagoon.  

Mykonos Harbour is a trendy spot in Langebaan, offering a spectacular view over the many luxurious yachts. It comprises Mykonos Resort which resembles a Greek village with colourful ‘calivas’ (apartments). Some apartments are built on the water’s edge and have spectacular ocean views.

Three excellent restaurants perched on a large wooden deck overlooking the yachts in their bays, making it the ideal location to enjoy either breakfast, lunch, or a moonlight dinner. There is ample parking available near the harbour for visitors.

Do you need to pay for parking at the harbour?

I’m not sure [laughing]. Usually, the security guards just let us in when we go there. I’m not sure how it works for tourists; maybe they charge them [giggling].

Kraalbaai, also referred to as the ‘hidden gem’ here in Langebaan, as previously mentioned, is another firm favourite of mine. This secluded beach is on the opposite side of the lagoon toward Shark Bay. Once there, you experience luxury as the bay overflows with grand yachts and millionaire boats.

The best way to get to Kraalbaai is to take a chartered boat trip from Mykonos Resort. Many affordable charter companies, like Elite Charters, drop anchors near the beach, allowing guests to enjoy a braai on the boat or shore.

You can also get there by driving through the West Coast National Park, but this route takes quite a long time and is not very interesting.

What is the craziest activity to do in Langebaan?

The Langebaan lagoon is known for kite surfing because the lagoon, with its shallow estuary, enables beginners to experience kite surfing and advanced surfers to enjoy high speeds on flat waters. The lagoon is an absolute paradise for adrenalin junkies.  

Why is it because of the weather?

[burst out laughing]… Ja! Our high-speed winds contribute to making it a pleasant experience. There are also several excellent kite surfing schools located at Shark Bay.

Besides kitesurfing, power boating activities are enormous on the lagoon, particularly over the December holiday. Many chartered companies also offer deep-sea fishing excursions and catamaran island cruises. 

I particularly enjoy the catamaran cruises because they take you near some islands, such as Schaapeneiland, where you can experience our unique birdlife.

Where are your favourite restaurants in Langebaan?

Mark’s Beach Bar is my favourite restaurant to enjoy an easy-going breakfast or spectacular sunset dinner because they have a wide variety of foods. The ambience reminds me of a fun beach hut with several surfboards stacked against the walls, giving Mark’s bar a lovely beachy vibe. There is always live music playing which enhances the holiday vibe. Besides their vast variety of foods (ranging from steak to seafood, hamburgers, and the best pizzas), they are known for having the best cocktails in Langebaan. They are also immensely popular with kids because they have a large boat-shaped playground right on the beach.  

When we have something to celebrate or when we have guests from other parts of the country, we enjoy introducing them to Die Strandlope r . I love this restaurant because it gives our guests a truly West Coast cultural experience. For example, be prepared to eat without contemporary cutlery as you eat with sea-shells spoons here. This buffet restaurant offers a 10-course menu prepared on open fires, on a beach setting. The food selection includes mussels, Westkus Haarders, fish curry, braaied snoek with potatoes and patats, lobster (kreef), smoked Angelfish and line fish, beef and bean (boontjie) bredie, freshly baked ‘roosterkoek’ and ‘pot brood’ with farm butter and homemade jams. And of course, no South African meal can be complete without traditional ‘koeksisters’ (a plaited doughnut deep-fried and drenched in syrup) for dessert.

The rates for lunch are R350 per person or 20 Euro per adult and R80 or 5 Euro per child aged 5 to 11 years.

The best part about Die Strandloper restaurant is that they contract local people to entertain the guests with live music and sing-a-longs. 

Die Strandloper is currently (until September) only open on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays for lunches. Bookings far ahead of time is absolutely essential. They are also not open for dinner until mid-October. 

I come from a traditional Afrikaans family, and many of my family members enjoy a traditional home-cooked meal. For this reason, I also selected Boesmanland Plaaskombuis (the name is derived from the indigenous Bushmen from the Kalahari and a farm kitchen). This traditional South African restaurant offers an informal buffet consisting of several famous South African served against a backdrop of fabulous ocean views. 

They serve (eat as much as you like) seafood, African food and ‘boerekos’ on the world-famous West Coast beach. All dishes are prepared on open fires in big black pots and served on traditional enamel plates. I also find the fact that you sit on old tree trunks very interesting and unique.

They offer a ‘boere breakfast’ (to be booked in advance) at R130 or  7.80 Euro  per person and a lunch for *R230 or 13 .70 Euro  per person  (winter rates). Their menus are rather extensive and can be viewed on their website by clicking  here . 

Add *R20 per person to prices over weekends. They are open for dinner, although bookings are essential. 

Where is the best place to enjoy a good breakfast in Langebaan?

Dockside restaurant at the Mykonos Harbour offers the best breakfast with a spectacular view. However, I enjoy Roxi’s Beach Bar’s excellent breakfast options and healthy smoothies. The best part about Roxi’s is their tropical island feel location because they are set right on the beach.

Can you recommend a good weekend stay in Langebaan?

My first choice would be the Shark Bay Hotel. It is a good option for romantic couples or Instagrammers who enjoy fantastic views. The hotel is near the West Coast National Park, where most of the best activities are in Langebaan.

My second choice is Club Mykonos Resort . I fondly remember my childhood holidays there before we moved to Langebaan. This resort is ideal for families with children because several holiday programmes are running during the season. 

There are often live entertainment and spectacular shows, and their self-catering ‘calivas’ have the most amazing ocean views.  

They say Langebaan is the ornithological capital of South Africa, what does that mean?

Ornithology relates to the study of birds. It is a well-known fact that Langebaan has the most incredible variety of bird species. 

The West Coast National Park has a map of all the bird hides and lookout points where one can enjoy the best views. 

For example, in Shark Bay, we have pink flamingos. Watching their reflections in the water, particularly during sunset, is very special.

When is the best time to visit Langebaan?

Google and travel pages tell you a different story [laughing out loud] but take it from me, the best time to visit Langebaan is from February until May. 

We have hardly any wind during these months and the best warm sunny days.

Is Langebaan’s beaches pet friendly because we saw some photos of you on Instagram with your puppy on the beach?

You often see people with their dogs at restaurants and on our beaches. I have never had a problem taking my dog anywhere with me.

We could not have asked for a more in-depth “insider focus” of Langebaan. Léne has provided tips and guidelines for having the best time visiting Langebaan.
