Just off the coast lies the spectacle of Bird Island. Visitors can view the gannets, cormorants, penguins and seals which congregate there. Bird Island attracts serious ornithologists the world over, but offers the layman an equally satisfying experience. Wetland birds such as flamingos, pelicans and the ever-traveling waders can be viewed at the nearby Jakkals River lake. Sportsmen and nature lovers are well catered for in Lamberts Bay. The town boasts an excellent golf coarse, opportunities for sailing and cruising and some unique hiking trails, which lead the visitor across the stark white dunes and the gray elephant-like rocks. In the spring the countryside around Lamberts Bay is transformed into field upon field of daisies and Bokbaai
vygies.
No visit to Lamberts Bay is complete without a visit to one of its famed outdoor restaurants. Whether sitting at the beach, or inland surrounded by huge boulders, the diner will be thrilled with the atmosphere and gastronomic delights, which includes crayfish, mussels, bredie and a range of local fare guaranteed to please the visitor's taste buds and make Lamberts Bay an unforgettable experience.
