Langebaan is an idyllic little seaside town on the South African West Coast.

From central Cape Town, Take the N1 highway
Take the R27 - Paarden Eiland turnoff, north, direction West Coast.

After approximately 120kms from Cape Town, turn off left to Langebaan.

You will see an Engen petrol service station on the left just before the turnoff.

A further 6kms brings you into the main road, Oostewal Street, in Langebaan.

Langebaan is located at the edge of the tranquil Langebaan lagoon, just over 120kms North of Cape Town. 

The seasons on the West Coast are hard and dramatic – but that’s part of their charm. 

The jewel of the West Coast towns, Langebaan, will leave you with memories of startling blue sea, acres of spring flowers and the enticing smell of fish braai’s.

Founded in 1922, this historical town was once a whaling station but has now been transformed into undoubtedly the busiest holiday destination of the West Coast.

Langebaan is a mecca for nature-lovers and water sport enthusiasts.
