The West Coast flowers are amazing!!  Some are only 3mm big, some are brown and some are green.  Some are so pink it hurts your eyes.  The Beach Camp™ is in the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve along the West Coast, just outside of Paternoster.  The Beach Camp™ is situated in one of the best flower reserves, Cape Columbine Nature Reserve, for West Coast Flowers…..

Here is a report of the flowers out over the past few years.  It is a list of flowers that I have come across and also sent on to the Flower Line.

It may be of interest…

We are geared up for winter and ironically only get approximately 126mm of rain in the rainy season.

More likely than not you will be soaking up the sun while it rains in Cape Town.  Our winter days are spent snuggled up in front of the Dover Stove, sipping on gluwine while listening to the sound of the rain on a tin roof contemplating the stormy seas- sooo… romantic!!

A lot of you missed out on the most amazing wild flower display last year… make a plan to get to The Beach Camp this year not to miss out!
