Patrons rave about the stunning scenery; as Jon Amira noted, the views alone make it a must-visit.

Shark Bay shack is not optional, its a must when you visit Langebaan. Sit on the roof - which is wind shielded - and be blown away by the views of the lagoon. You can purchase great coffee or soft serve icecream. highly recommended.

Always good here. They have the best coffee in town and their morning egg, bacon and cheese tastiest are the best. The view of the lagoon is stunning.

Nice spot, beautiful view, not the most comfortable seats. Coffee was a 6.5/10 but that was expected. WiFi is decent, staff, pleasant- will definitely be back

A magical spot to visit while in Langebaan. A long very clean, secluded beach. To just add to yhe atmosphere there is the Shark Shack serving Ice cream and snacks wit a deck and the most awesome views.

Superb views over the Langebaan Lagoon. Bought coffee then sat on the roof terrace. Under the umbrella for the shade. Did not try the restaurant, maybe next time. Clean public toilets. And showers. From the shack it is 100 yards down to the beach on a wooden walkway.

Had a coffee with the perfect view. Overlooking the lagoon, unforgettable view. Sat outside on the top viewing deck. Bathrooms clean, sufficient safe parking. Perfect spot to take visitors or just to chill and breathe.

A lovely spot to relax for a coffee break with light snacks or even to do some remote work overlooking a vast expanse of sea. Awesome WiFi signal. Very peaceful and scenic place. Lots of parking and clean toilet facilities.
