Check Availability
Just inland from the secluded harbour of Saldanha Bay, and only 1,5 hour’s drive from Cape Town’s City Centre, one finds the azure waters of the Langebaan Lagoon, focal point of the West Coast National Park.
Against the backdrop of the azure blue lagoon, white dunes, rare fynbos, green wetlands and unbounded waves, there is much to experience. A paradise for hikers, cyclists and mountain bikers, birders, and nature-lovers alike.
The Park hosts a total of over 250 bird species annually, over a quarter of South Africa’s total. Visit one of the bird hides and spend some time enjoying the quiet. Unwind on the shore of the Langebaan Lagoon at Kraalbaai – a great spot for picnics. Explore the many rock pools along the seashore at Tsaarsbank.
Come to West Coast National Park and explore, discover and relax!

R27 Gate Closure Notice
Please note that the R27 Gate (West Coast entry gate) remains closed due to ongoing construction work. The gate will now reopen on 5 July 2025, not 14 June as previously communicated.
This closure is necessary to complete the construction and upgrade of the R27 Gate facility.
During this period, all access to and from West Coast National Park must be via the Langebaan Gate.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
Thank you,
WCNP Management

Wild Cards Sales
Wild cards at West Coast National Park can only be purchased at the visitor centre at Geelbek or at the Langebaan office. Currently, such cards cannot be purchased at either of the two gates (Langebaan or R27 gate). No refunds are available to visitors who enter the park at either of these two gates and pay conservation fees and then purchase a wild card thereafter. Visitors are thus encouraged to renew or purchase their wild cards (where applicable) online or at the Langebaan office before entering the park.
