The famous 16 Mile Beach is one of the most surreal scenes in Yzerfontein.
Stretching from just north of the main beach at Yzerfontein up to the West Coast National Park close to Langebaan, this is the longest uninterrupted sandy beach on the coastline of South Africa.
This is the ideal place if you want a quiet walk or run. At times there are horse-riding organizations that do trips on this beach and if you are really lucky, you might even see the occasional ostrich.
