Langebaan Lagoon is a large salt water lagoon, regarded as a wetland of international importance, protected by the West Coast National Park 100 km north of Cape Town. Bird watchers will want to explore this area as the beautiful landscape attracts numerous waterbirds, Palearctic and rare migrant Waders. As such it is one of South Africa’s important bird areas.

Langebaan is most busy during the spring flower season (August to September) when the wild flowers are in bloom. Whales can be spotted during October and November.

The white sand beaches surrounding the clear waters of the Langebaan Lagoon are one of the main attractions of Langebaan. The mild climate and protected waters of the lagoon make Langebaan popular for sailing, kayaking, kitesurfing and fishing, and the town offers numerous holiday facilities for water sport enthusiasts.

To protect its culture as a fishing, holiday village, the town allows no industries.

Club Mykonos Resort hosts a number of annual events, festivals and exhibitions. Able to accommodate large numbers, the well-known artists are regular performers at this venue. Popular competitions and fund raising events are hosted at the resort.

Large-scale sporting events such as triathlons, the downwind dash, cycling, car gymkhanas and more are held here. A monthly craft market as well as art exhibitions through the year, showcase the talents of local artists.  Community events includes the church bazaar and the annual Langebaan Mussel Festival, which takes place on the first weekend of October.
