ECO ATTRACTIONS - West Coast
Province: Western Cape
Region: West Coast
To many the West Coast is flowers, and an end to it, the fabled magic carpet that bloom wildly in spring and then close slowly their bright lashes and are gone. To others, the West Coast is mountains, and they will hear of nothing else, gothic mountains and moons and long walks with a stick. But to most, the West Coast is, well, the coast, and you would have to be cold fish not to see it. And yet, as varied and grand as these legacies are, they are of small consequence alongside the foot- print left in the sands of Langebaan 117 000 years ago. Many think of it as Eve's.
