Why it's worth your time
A vast, dune-backed stretch of sand that serves as the quiet heart of the Garden Route. It is wild, exposed, and perfect for those who prefer walking to sunbathing.
What we love
The sense of space and the dramatic, dune-backed landscape.
What to know
The surf is powerful and the beach is largely unpatrolled; swim with caution.
