This initiative was established on October 31st, 2014 and has served as a beacon, guiding visitors towards the unique West Coast biodiversity corridor. West Coast Way's promotion of the region has, over the years, brought more people to the Cape West Coast, thus providing a much-needed boost to the local economy.

As reiterated by its founder, Carmen Lerm, the Cape West Coast is an oasis of inspiration that is simply refreshing and enjoyable for any family road trips. She encourages customizing your road trip with the top attractions to suit your preferences, from the lively small towns to the raw beauty of the Weskus.
