A long, wild, dune-backed Atlantic beach south of Chapman's Peak — walkable for miles and almost empty.

Why it's worth your time
A continuation of the expansive Noordhoek coastline, this beach is backed by high dunes and the dramatic slopes of Chapman's Peak. It remains one of the few places in Cape Town where you can walk for miles without encountering a building.
What we love
The dramatic backdrop of the mountain range meeting the dunes.
What to know
Parking at the main access point can be 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.
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.
