The West Coast of South Africa is still an almost undiscovered treasure trove of unspoiled beaches, incredible mountain ranges, rich geographical diversity and the most astounding carpet of wild flowers in spring. It is slowly evolving into a major holiday route out of Cape Town along Route 27. The Cape West Coast stretches from Cape Town as far as the border with the Northern Cape. All along this stretch of coastline is a series of quaint historic towns and fishing villages such as Lamberts Bay, Paternoster, Saldanha Bay and Langebaan. Feast on yellowtail, cob and snoek (extremely tasty fish), mussels and crayfish at any of the number of spectacular open-air beach restaurants along Route 27. They all offer unsurpassed food fresh from the sea, cooked on open fires. Try Muisbosskerm and Bosduifklip close to Lamberts Bay or Breakwater Boma in Saldanha Bay and taste the West Coast! Just outside of Cape Town the little town of Darling deserves a stop, especially in September for its Wild Flower and Orchid show and for its locally produced wines. A little further up the coast, the West Coast National Park is the closest spot outside of Cape Town where one can sample the spring flower season from the end of July to early September. In the Fossil Park right next to it 200 different kinds of animals, many of them new to science, have been uncovered.
