Kokomo Beach Bar & Restaurant

Beachfront Dining at its Finest

Located right on the beach in Langebaan, Kokomo Beach Bar & Restaurant offers visitors panoramic views of the lagoon and Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant's prime location makes it an ideal spot for sundowners, with spectacular sunset views that capture the true essence of the West Coast.

Atmosphere & Setting

Kokomo embodies the laid-back coastal vibe with its wooden tables, beach-themed décor, and surfboard displays. The restaurant's tagline "get here fast, then take it slow" perfectly captures the relaxed ambiance. With indoor, deck, and beach seating options, guests can choose their preferred dining experience depending on the weather or occasion.

Local tip: During peak season (December-January), arrive before 17:00 to secure a prime spot on the deck for sunset views without a reservation.

Menu Highlights

• Seafood: The calamari consistently receives praise from locals and tourists alike, with many claiming it's some of the best on the West Coast
• Signature dishes: The double crunch chicken burger, pork belly, and Durban curry are standout items
• Breakfast: Try the breakfast pizza or bruschetta for a morning visit
• Cocktails: "Call Me a Cab" is a local favorite, along with their jam jar cocktails served with frozen berries

Prices range from R100-350 depending on meal choice and time of day, which is reasonable for the quality and location.

Family-Friendly Features

What makes Kokomo particularly appealing for families is the direct beach access with a children's play area visible from the restaurant. Parents can enjoy their meals while keeping an eye on the kids playing in the sand. The menu includes options suitable for young diners.

Best Times to Visit

Weekday lunches are typically quieter, while weekends and evenings get busier, especially during holiday seasons. If visiting for dinner, arriving around sunset (between 18:00-19:00 in summer) provides the most memorable experience.

Weather note: Unlike many Langebaan establishments, Kokomo is well-protected from the notorious West Coast wind, making it a reliable choice even on breezy days.

Parking & Practical Info

Parking can be challenging during peak times. Street parking is available, and there's now additional parking across the road, though you might need to tip parking attendants during busy periods.

Dog-friendly with water provided for pets, making it perfect for those exploring the beachfront with their four-legged companions.
