Langebaan,
Western Cape, South Africa Langebaan is a smallish
town on the edge of the immense Langebaan Lagoon, about 2 hours' drive
north of Cape Town on the West Coast. The Lagoon is a water sports enthusiast’s
paradise with wonderful kayaking, fun snorkelling and some of the best
windsurfing and kitesurfing in the world. In summer, migratory water
birds arrive in their thousands from as far away as Russia. Schaapen Island,
in the middle of the lagoon, is bird sanctuary so it’s strictly off limits,
but you can paddle really close to it and watch the gannets, gulls and
cormorants squabbling amongst themselves.
The
West Coast National Park borders on the town and sweeps down to the southern
end of the lagoon. It’s a good place for spotting small game but the major
attraction is the colourful spring flowers.
The small settlement of Churchhaven,
and the pretty Kraalbaai are both easily reached by paddling or sailing
across the lagoon, or by road through the national park. Kraalbaai is noted
for its many houseboats, some of which are for rent. There are bicycles
and canoes for rent in the town, and the national park is a great place
to cycle.
There is a large casino resort
close by, golf courses and numerous guest houses, some excellent restaurants
and a fun beachfront pub.

Coast, Langebaan offers the unique waters of the Lagoon and Saldahna Bay

in the world! The town it's self is home to some very original South
African gems, Die Strandloper, Froggies, Pearly's on The Beach and of course

Lagoon and is one of the earliest proof of modern man's or woman's existence
on this planet! Over 170,000 years old, this fossil shows how people have
been coming to this town for a lot longer than we thought! Even a pair
of bindings were found close by, so perhaps she was a wakeboarder!

hard to not enjoy yourself whilst here. Golf Courses, a National Park,
