Yzerfontein, South Africa beach guide & holiday information
Yzerfontein is a place of serenity and beauty, its coastline is made up of both rocky and sandy beaches. This small fishing village is a gateway to the Western Cape, about 80 km outside of Cape Town and visitors in need of rest and relaxation will find these beaches just what the doctor ordered.
With a climate that is sunny and mild, and doesn't drop below 10 deg Centigrade, Yzerfontein is a traveller's delight with long stretches of beach offering serenity and calm. A holiday in Yzerfontein can be one of pure indolence watching whales or dolphins cavorting in the waters enjoying their own vacations, or if your blood is still young and pumping there are a number of water sports to enjoy such as skiing, surfing or sailing and suchlike.
For those of us who thrill to nature's beauty a holiday in Yzterfontein will more than fulfil all expectations. Strolling along the beach in this vacationer's paradise the spring flowers spread their multi-coloured profusion in a rich tapestry of colour, and a visit to the West Coast National Park will introduce wildlife that includes springbok, that well known emblem that caused quite a stir in the political arena a few years back, Cape Mountain Zebra, the beautiful Caracal with its rust colour fur and lynx-like black tufts, and Bat-Eared Fox, to name just a handful.
The West Coast National Park environs include the Langebaan Lagoon, a Ramsar Site, an area considered to be of global importance to wetland bird species, and for a family vacation also offers accommodation in various forms from hotel rooms, B&B's, self-catering accommodation, as well as apartment rentals and even holiday homes. So if planning to travel the Garden Route with its beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery, the entire family will thoroughly enjoy and be well catered for in either luxury or rustic accommodation depending on choice.
