Yzerfontein is a small harbour town with about 1200 inhabitants on the west coast of South Africa about 90 km north of Cape Town. The main sources of income are tourism (especially during the wild flower season from August to October), and fishing. It is known for its unique 16 Mile Beach, the longest uninterrupted sandy beach on the South African coastline, stretching north of the main beach, to the West Coast National Park which borders the town. Dassen Island is about 10 km offshore to the west. Yzerfontein is the perfect base from which to explore the many attractions of the Cape West Coast.

“Yzerfontein's name originates from the Dutch "Iron Fountain". It has its origins in the 1930s when the Katz family bought the Yzerfontein farm. The farm eventually developed over the years into a small harbour town. Of note, Yzerfontein has the only two remaining lime kilns in South Africa.” - Chris Smit, 2024/04/27
