Yzerfontein is situated on the west coast of South Africa; it is about 80 km north of Cape Town (as the crow flies), halfway between Cape Town and Langebaan. The nearest town to it is Darling.
From Cape Town, take the R27 (the West Coast road). Continue along the R27 passing Milnerton, Sunset Beach, Tableview, Melkbos and Grotto Bay. The generous 120km/h speed limit means that you will find yourself at the turnoff to Yzerfontein relativley quickly. Right will take you to Darling along the R315, while left takes you to Yzerfontein. Pass the lime kilns and you get to Yzerfontein - now there are only 3 ways to go:
left will take you past the petrol station to Pearl Bay
straight will take you past the tourist office, past the harbour, past Yzerfontein point, Schaap Island and also eventually to Pearl Bay
right will take you to sixteen mile beach
Cape Town International is the nearest major airport. Land there, and then hop into a car. Follow the N2 towards Cape Town, take the M5 turnoff towards Milnerton, turn off the M5 onto the N1 towards Cape Town, then take the R27 turnoff travelling north to Yzerfontein. Follow the directions along the R27 as set out above.
