The wide-open road, bags filled with your favourite delicious goodies and the incredible vistas that the Western Cape so eagerly offers up – road-tripping through our beautiful province is always a good idea, especially when attempting to get into the festive spirit. With so many hidden gems to explore, it can be difficult to decide where to head next. The endless roads of the Karoo or the West Coast?
If you’re looking to put on your beach hat, flip flops, and enjoy the freshest seafood around, here are a few seaside towns along the West Coast to sink your teeth into.
Paternoster
Paternoster is always a good idea. Beautiful seaside views and mouth-watering crayfish – what more do you need?

Darling
The small town of Darling may not be a stone’s throw away from the beach, but it has plenty to offer. Grab a glass of wine at one of the many wine farms in this area or grab a bite to eat at the famous 1910 The Old Forge.
