West Coast |
||
| The West Coast is a region of extreme beauty and contrast. The solitary coast’s scenic beauty is challenged only by rich culinary experiences of mussels, oysters, calamari, crayfish and abalone in season, or linefish pulled from the Benguela current’s cold waters. The area is a birdwatcher’s paradise. In addition, every year migrating whales visit the coastal waters from July. Within the first two months of the first good winter rains, wild flowers on the West Coast explode in a brilliant array of colour. The Swartland region is known for its undulating wheat fields, vineyards, wineries and outdoor activities. Further north, visitors encounter the fertile Olifants River Valley and the vast plains of the Knersvlakte with its wealth of indigenous succulent plants. |
