Drive to Paternoster via West Coast National Park

Kick off your Western Cape road trip with a scenic drive north to Paternoster, a charming fishing village known for its stunning beaches, whitewashed fishermen’s houses and fresh seafood. On the way to Paternoster, stop after 100 kilometres at the West Coast National Park – famous for its abundant birdlife, indigenous fynbos and spring wildflowers. From November to March, a whale-watching cruise would be a great add-on to your visit, and guided bird tours run year-round, check the extra activities. Treat yourself to a 7-course beachfront lunch at Die Strandloper in Langebaan afterwards, and then it’s just another 40 minutes’ drive to laid-back Paternoster – welcome to the West Coast!
