Next stop, Yzerfontein

Yzerfontein is a tranquil seaside village on South Africa’s West Coast, about 90 km from Cape Town.
 
Known for its 16 km stretch of pristine beach—the longest uninterrupted sandy shore in the country—it was originally a small fishing settlement.
 
Its name, meaning “Iron Fountain” in Dutch, refers to a local spring.
 
Today, Yzerfontein is popular for angling, whale watching, and wildflower displays during spring, while retaining its quiet charm and natural beauty.
 
It’s a favorite getaway for those seeking coastal serenity close to the city.
