With so many fun filled adventures, everyone will have a thriving appetite. Dine at one of several local restaurants all stocked with the freshest seafood caught by the local fisherman. And if the kids haven’t quite developed a palate for the local bounty, be assured there are several other kid friendly menu options.

Langabeen south africa
The Langebaan Lagoon was formed by the rising and falling of sea levels during pre-historic times. This is unlike most lagoons which form where fresh water rivers enter the sea (like Milnerton lagoon). As a result, Langebaan Lagoon is a purely salt water lagoon.As far back as 500 000 years ago, early Homo sapiens were probably present in the area, living in groups and hunting small game, displacing carnivores, such as lions, from their kills and gathering plant foods. They made fire as protection and for cooking and probably made simple shelters from branches. They probably used animal skins for warmth and clothing. They made wooden and stone tools.The town\'s European history began about 400 years back. In the 1600\'s, the Dutch East India Company used Saldanha Bay\'s calm waters as a repair location for their sailing ships. The French used Schaapeneiland (situated a stone\'s throw from Langebaan beach) as a storage place for whale oil and seal hides (they called it \"Isle à la Biche\"). More recently, the whaling station was situated at Donkergat and is still visible from the town. A reminder of Langebaan\'s whaling history is the harpoon gun outside the Municipal Buildings.The Langebaan Lagoon was formed by the rising and falling of sea levels during pre-historic times.
