West Coast National Park is a national park on the west coast of South Africa's Western Cape province. It's certainly not one of the most famous, but its special charm has been increasingly well-known and visitor numbers are increasing even outside of the flower season. The rough and rugged nature of the West Coast can be experienced particularly well here.
The park is about 120 km north of Cape Town. It can be reached by car from Cape Town on the R27 towards Saldanha, Vredenburg or Veldrift.
