Yzerfontein on the West Coast of South Africa is a quaint seaside village about 80 kilometers north from Cape Town. Yzerfontien, housing a predominantly fishing community, is as west coast as it gets. The offshore island named Dassen Island is home to a colony of Penguins, an interesting sight to say the least. Yzerfontein is located next to the West Coast National Park, a conservation area that protects the natural fauna and flora of this beautiful region.

During the spring season, the fields come alive with flowers, and is awe inspiring sight, and a must when in the region. The flowers just pop up out of nowhere and colours the scene like as if out of a fairytale. The Postberg Nature reserve, within the West Coast National Park is a great place to start when exploring the region. The local community receives much of their income through fishing, and a taste of the local snoek is just heavenly.

The West Coast Fossil Park is another of those interesting place you should visit, as there are centuries old fossils that gives an alternative perspective of the region. Some of the creature seems like they could have been rather amazing. The great outdoors in the surrounding area should be explored, and a day spent hiking or on picnic, will give you the relaxation money just can’t buy.
