Slightly inland from the tucked away harbour of Saldanha Bay one finds the crystal waters of the Langebaan Lagoon, a highlight of the West Coast National Park. Thousands of seabirds roost on sheltered islands. Idyllic beaches are on offer while the local salt marshes are home to vast concentrations of migrant waders from the northern hemisphere. In Spring the lands come alive with flowers.

The largest concentration of mammals is in the Postberg Reserve, but this part of the park is only open during flower season. However Eland, red hartebeest, Cape grysbok, caracal and rock hyrax can be found throughout the park. Visitors should keep an eye out passing whales and dolphins.

The park is divided into 3 recreational zones: Zone A: multi-functional section for most water sports. Zone B: reserved for sailboats and board sailing (no power boats or angling). Zone C: wilderness area, which is closed to the public. The Postberg Flower Trail is open during the spring flowering season only. Game viewing from own vehicle in the Postberg Section (only during the spring flowering season). Picnic, barbecue and ablution facilities for day visitors in the Postberg Section (only during the spring flowering season). Tea garden and light meals at the Geelbek Homestead. Bird hides near the Geelbek Homestead.

This is a stunning destination to relax and enjoy the idyllic scenery.
