Witsand Nature Reserve (Afrikaans: Witsand-natuurreservaat) is located in Northern Cape, South Africa, and covers 3,500 hectares. The reserve is 80 km southwest of Postmasburg and 59 km northeast of Groblershoop. The reserve is dominated by sand dunes on a plateau around 1,200 m above sea level.
The British colonial government granted the farm Westfield, where Witsand now stands, to Captain Benjamin Moodie on 10 October 1831. In the late 1800s, the Moodies permitted residents of Heidelberg, including farmers and townspeople, to vacation in Witsand, known for its good fishing and its white sandy beach that inspired its name.
