Route 4: Wild West Coast

R11 000,00

Route 4 of Cape Camino follows the Wild West Coast of the Western Cape, offering a 3–5 day coastal pilgrimage from Elands Bay to the Berg River mouth at Velddrift. This multi-day walking route is shaped by ocean tides, long beach stretches and dune crossings, with daily distances ranging from approximately 11km to 23km. Walkers move along remote shoreline paths, fishing settlements and coastal farmland, experiencing uninterrupted sea views, marine birdlife and seasonal sightings of whales, dolphins and seals.

The Wild West Coast Camino is physically more demanding due to extended beach walking on sand, requiring a good level of walking fitness and careful attention to tidal times. Accommodation is provided by small guest farms and local hosts along the route, creating a supported coastal walking experience. Route 4 is ideal for pilgrims seeking ocean air, elemental landscapes and a raw, open-horizon journey along one of South Africa’s most unspoilt coastlines. It can be booked as a standalone route or combined with other Cape Camino sections as part of a longer Western Cape pilgrimage.
