Columbine Nature Reserve

Along the coast just south of Paternoster, the 692-acre Columbine Nature Reserve is a great spot for spring wildflowers, coastal fynbos, and succulents. Cormorants and sacred ibis are common here, and the population of the endangered African black oystercatcher is growing each year. Die-hard anglers revel in the abundant fish. There is also a squat lighthouse that you can climb for a small fee. A round-trip through the reserve is 7 km (4 miles). It's very exposed, however, so don't plan to walk in the middle of the day or you'll end up with some serious sunburn. The dusty road has no name, but head south out of town and ask directions along the way. It's impossible to get lost—there aren't that many roads to choose from.
