16 Mile Beach in Yzerfontein, Western Cape

About 16 Mile Beach

Yzerfontein, located along South Africa’s scenic West Coast, is home to the country’s longest uninterrupted stretch of beach, the renowned 16 Mile Beach. Extending from Yzerfontein’s Main Beach in the south to the northern boundary of the West Coast National Park, this remarkable coastline offers both tranquility and adventure for visitors throughout the year.

16 Mile Beach is a prime location for whale watching, with the best sightings occurring from September to November during calving season. The beach's expansive sands are also perfect for sunbathers seeking a serene retreat, while its wind conditions make it a popular spot for kitesurfing enthusiasts, particularly during the breezier months. The stretch of beach is equally welcoming to beginners, offering ample space for practice.

For those with a love for horses, several local companies provide scenic horseback outrides along the shore, available at either sunrise or sunset for a truly unforgettable experience. In addition to water sports and horseback riding, Yzerfontein is a haven for fishermen, offering excellent opportunities to cast a line in this idyllic coastal setting. Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or take part in outdoor activities, Yzerfontein’s 16 Mile Beach has something for everyone.
