West Coast National Park in South Africa is a scenic and ecologically rich area located along the country's western coastline, near the city of Cape Town. Spanning over 36,000 hectares, the park is renowned for its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and vibrant spring wildflower displays, particularly in the Postberg section, which is open to the public only during the flower season. The park also encompasses the Langebaan Lagoon, a Ramsar site of international importance, which provides a sanctuary for a variety of bird species, including flamingos and migratory waders.
