Langebaan Lagoon Live Cam at Pearly's, South Africa

This live camera from Table Mountain Live Stream shows Langebaan Lagoon from Pearly's Restaurant in Langebaan, a coastal town on South Africa's West Coast, about 120 kilometers north of Cape Town.

The lagoon is a shallow, sheltered arm of Saldanha Bay, around 15 kilometers long, with clear turquoise water and white sand. Most of it is part of West Coast National Park, which protects one of the most important wetlands in South Africa. Tens of thousands of migrant wading birds arrive here in the southern summer, and flamingos are often seen in the shallows. The park is also famous for its spring wildflowers, usually around August and September.

Langebaan is one of the best kitesurfing and windsurfing destinations in the country. The strong southeasterly wind that blows in summer fills the lagoon with colorful kites, while calmer days bring swimmers, kayakers and sailors. Pearly's, right on the beach, is a popular place to watch it all over a meal.

The West Coast has a Mediterranean climate, with dry, windy summers and cooler, wetter winters. Sunsets over the lagoon can be spectacular. South Africa runs two hours ahead of UTC.
