About Yzerfontein

Yzerfontein is your easy West Coast escape, about 85 km up the R27 from Cape Town via Melkbosstrand and Atlantis, perfect for a Sunday drive or weekend away. Link up with Darling and Malmesbury on the R315 if you're making a loop through the Swartland. EV charging is scarce here, so juice up before you leave town. The standout feature: a 16 km unbroken beach, with Dassen Island and its penguin colony visible just offshore.
