Dassen Island is South Africa’s second largest Island after Robben Island and is about 10km west of Yzerfontein in the Atlantic Ocean and is home to the African penguin. The African Penguin is classified as Endangered by the IUCN Red List and listed on Appendix II of the CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species). Dassen Island was declared a nature reserve in 1987 and is now managed by CapeNature, mainly to protect its seabirds.

Information Sourced from West Coast Way

A little hideaway, midway up the West Coast where one can find the tranquillity of the countryside and still be within easy reach of Cape Town. Here you can relax with a cup of true ‘Boere Troos”, enjoy a typical home cooked meal or just browse through the Farm Stall for that something special.

Once you arrive, take a walk through their beautiful nursery that grows and sells indigenous flora, locally grown herbs and vegetables. The kids will love a visit to the Aviary, which is large enough for their resident Macaws, Cockatoos, African Grey’s and other large parrots to fly around freely in.

The Schaapeiland Hiking Trail skirts the edge of the village of Yzerfontein. Approximately two kilometres long, it starts from the Main Beach – or Sixteen Mile Beach as it is also known – and then runs in a southerly direction, that is, towards the harbour. It is an easy walk for most people.

Once you leave the main beach the Trail runs higher up along the rocks. A well-maintained footpath covered in crushed mussel shells is clearly signposted with white footprints to show the way.

On the Trail many indigenous bird species may be encountered, one of the most important being the small black Oyster Catcher with its bright red legs, long, pointed red bill and shrill whistle-like screech. This bird is on the Cites Red Data List of endangered species.
