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.
Bikini Beach
A tiny sheltered cove at Gordon's Bay — False Bay's warmest, most protected swimming spot.
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.
