The Cape West Coast (Weskus) is a birding hotspot of international significance, where wetlands, lagoons, and coastline come alive with migratory and endemic species. From the iconic Langebaan Lagoon to salt pans and fynbos plains, birding here is an adventure of patience, discovery, and wild beauty. Come and experience one of the Cape’s most diverse birding landscapes.
Raw, and rugged, rock climbing and bouldering in the Weskus offers big views without the crowds. Tackle granite outcrops, coastal hills, and inland ranges where climbs reward you with sweeping ocean horizons, dramatic sunsets, and a true sense of off-the-beaten-path adventure. The Weskus is home to some of the world’s best bouldering.
With long open roads, quiet gravel tracks, and endless horizons, the Weskus is made for cycling. Whether you’re chasing speed by road or adventure on gravel, rides here deliver coastal air, rolling landscapes, and a freedom that only wide-open spaces can offer.
Few things match the thrill of paragliding over the Cape West Coast—launching into steady winds with the Atlantic stretching out below you. The Weskus is prized for its reliable conditions, making it a playground for paragliders seeking smooth flights, epic coastal views, and pure airborne adventure.
Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the Weskus is all about calm waters and close-to-nature exploration. Glide across protected lagoons and estuaries where the water mirrors the sky, seabirds drift nearby, and every paddle stroke feels peaceful yet adventurous.
