Things to do
Greece away from Greece
Walking on the wild side
RELAX AT KRAALBAAI BEACH AND LAGOON
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 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.
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.
Located within the West Coast Nature Reserve, this is yet another gloriously special lagoon and beach in
Langebaan to visit.
With houseboats, romantic beach strolls, boat trips, swimming, careful sun tanning, picnic opportunities
and of course, picture-perfect scenery straight out of the Greek Isles, Kraalbaai beach and lagoon makes
for the perfect, family day (or overnight) trip.
