Lamberts Bay is a small fishing town in the Western Cape province of South Africa situated 280 kilometres north of Cape Town. It is part of the Cederberg Municipality.

The coast town has been proclaimed 'the Diamond of the West Coast' because of its white beaches, wild life and lobsters. Although primarily a fishing town it has become one of the major tourist attractions on the West Coast due to the moderate all year climate. The town also hosts the Crayfish Festival.
