Lambert’s Bay is situated on the West Coast region of Western Cape, just a two-hour drive away from Cape Town. Once upon a time, the community was a simple fishing village, but its picturesque views and year-round moderate climate led to its development as a tourist attraction. Today, Lambert’s Bay is one of West Coast’s biggest tourist drawers and serves as a good jumping-off point for other destinations such as Clanwilliam, Doring Bay, and Elands Bay. Although it is a seaside community, many of its popular activities are not water-related such as 4x4 driving and hiking. Wildlife enthusiasts will get a kick out of watching birds, seals, whales, and dolphins. Foodies will also love this destination because it is abundant in seafood. Fancy preparing the region’s specialties yourself? Check out this list of self-catering accommodations in Lambert’s Bay, South Asia, and experiment with some recipes during your trip here.
