Paternoster is the undisputed king of West Coast atmosphere.
As winter settles across South Africa and the temperatures begin to dip, many travellers start swapping busy city plans for the idea of a peaceful coastal escape.
While beach holidays are often associated with summer, the colder months reveal a completely different side of the country’s seaside towns.
Think dramatic ocean views, quieter beaches, whale sightings, roaring fireplaces and long walks wrapped in a thick jersey.
From the rugged Wild Coast to the windswept charm of the West Coast, winter is one of the best times to explore South Africa’s coastal gems without the crowds.
