Cape Town's top 5 Beaches PDF Print E-mail

Whether it's just soaking up the sun, spending leasurely time with the family or friends, long walks with your loved one, absorbing the breathtaking views surrounding all the beaches in the Cape Peninsula, or enjoying a glass of the Cape's most noble wine at sunset, the Cape Peninsula has it all ....... enjoy!

1. Clifton

Driving along the Atlantic Ocean coastal road from the City, past Sea Point, you reach the suburb of Clifton. Look carefully to find the steps down to any one of Clifton’s beautiful, sandy beaches. This is the place to be seen, where all the shapely bodies hang out. Sun tan, play volleyball, or just admire.

2. Camps Bay

A little further along you’ll find the palm tree lined beach of Camp’s Bay. This beach offer so much more beside the beautiful white sand, the lined palm trees, if the sun gets too hot, or you feel a little peckish, a row of pubs and restaurants are waiting to quench the thirsts or still the appetites, right across the road from the beach.


3. Long Beach, Kommetjie

With the off shore breeze, makes Long Beach ideal for surfers, especially the beginners. The local population enjoys the long stretch of pristine white sand, whether to just sit and stare, or take long walks. Long beach enjoys the most beautiful views, Noordhoek mountains, the back end of Table Mountain and the Sentinal mountain at distant Hout Bay, all this across the dark blue sea that borders near by Noordhoek beach.

4. Fish Hoek

Possibly the most popular family beach in the Cape Peninsula. Beside the white sandy beach,  there are shallow rocky pools for the kids to wallow in, or the more daring, dive over the rocks to swim with the local fish. During the summer months another form of entertainment is to watch the fit and agile participate in the many Life Saving Club competitions.

5. Big Bay, Bloubergstrand

North of Cape Town City near the village of Bloubergstrand (Bluemountain strand) lies the long, sandy stretch of beach, with a view of the majestic Table Mountain and Robben Island across the bay. The prevailing winds are off shore; therefore it creates a regular supply of waves for board surfing, windsurfing and other water sports.
