A tiny, sheltered cove tucked into the corner of Gordon's Bay harbor. It is famously protected from the prevailing winds.

The dramatic mountain backdrop.
What to know
Parking is very limited during peak summer weekends.
More beach in Western Cape
Arniston (Waenhuiskrans)
A whitewashed Overberg fishing village with a sheltered beach, a sea cave, and the Kassiesbaai fishermen's cottages — the prettiest village on the south coast.
Boulders Beach
A sheltered cove of granite boulders and an African penguin colony, half an hour from central Cape Town.
Buffalo Bay (Buffelsbaai)
A long, dune-backed beach near Knysna — dolphins most mornings and a surf break at the point.
Camps Bay
Cape Town's glamorous Atlantic-Seaboard beach — palm-lined, sunset-facing, and crowded for good reason.
Clifton 4th Beach
Four coves of sheltered white sand below Clifton's apartment stacks — wind-free when the rest of the coast is howling.
De Kelders
The cliff-and-cove shoreline at Gansbaai where southern right whales come within metres of the rocks in season.
