- Join us as we uncover the hidden gem of Yzerfontein, a charming coastal town on the West Coast of South Africa, just an hour's drive from Cape Town. This stunning destination is often overlooked by tourists, but trust us, it's a treasure trove of natural beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality. From the breathtaking 16 Mile Beach to the tranquil !Khwa ttu Nature Reserve, we'll take you on a journey through the best of Yzerfontein. We'll explore the quaint town's charming restaurants, visit the famous Rosemead Bakery, and even stop by the West Coast Farm Stall for some fresh produce. But that's not all - we'll also delve into the region's fascinating history, including a swim in the iconic Swem Gat and checking out the mysterious Dassen Island. And, of course, no trip to Yzerfontein would be complete without a visit to the picturesque Salt Pans and a glimpse of the majestic ostriches that call this place home. So sit back, relax, and let us show you why Yzerfontein is South Africa's best-kept secret.

What's your favourite town along the West Coast??
Have you guys visited Elandsbay? Or Doringbaai? Kleinzee? Koingnaas? I don’t want to share too many gems. 🤭
Lambertsbay also was a special place we went camping. (From Living in Yzf we’d go camping in Lambertsbay. Ha ha. Go figure. One coastal town to the next).
@marguerite527 none of those yet, but hopefully soon😊👍

Hi there , been following and watching you channel for a while now , very glad to see this video of Yzerfontein , i live here and its amazing here.
Lovely place to live. Much appreciated 👍😊🙏
I grew up in this town. There was only n petrol station and a little Portugese store that sold basic essentials. Most of the streets were red gravel and I had the best time as a kid. There were only about 150 people back then 1981-1995. ‘96 I went to koshuis and still came home every weekend. I can remember what it felt like coming from hot Paarl to the entrance at the four way stop and feeling the cool beach air. The many days and evenings on the beach through out my life. High school parties on the Duine. Phosphor on the beach at night. Swimming all day and cartwheeling on the beach. I left for USA 2010 and my parents sold the house we grew up in in 2021. End of an era. My brother still lives there and runs my dad’s business McNeil construction (if you ever want to build a house there. Best builders in town of course!).
Oh and those tiny dolphins are called Tornyne or torpedoes. Thanks for great video. And happy you guys enjoyed it there.
Thanks so much for sharing this, amazing how much it has changed for good or bad. But it's a great way to grow up with wonderful memories. 😊👍🙏
