White sand and shallow lagoon water on the West Coast, South Africa
West Coast region · representative photograph, not this specific trail

SANParks lists the Bakoor Trail as a 4.6km walk from the Langebaan gate to Seeberg View Point in West Coast National Park. The official page notes lagoon views and a chance of bat-eared foxes, ostriches and eland. This is a day walk. It is not the booked Postberg or Steenbok flower-season trails, which start at Tsaarsbank. Pets are not permitted. Daily conservation fees apply at the park — we do not copy a rand figure here.

Before you go, read West Coast National Park guide.
