Overview
3About Dwarskersbos
Dwarskersbos is a laid-back West Coast holiday spot, reached off the R27 via the R399 through Piketberg, about 170 km from Cape Town. Locals nip through to Velddrif (18 km) for shopping or fresh vis en tjips, while Vredenburg and Saint Helena Bay (39 km) make easy day trips. EV charging is scarce out here, so top up in Vredenburg first. The real drawcard is the natural reef along the beach, forming calm tidal pools that make it one of the safest swimming spots on the whole coast.
