    One of my favorite walking beaches because even when it is busy you can still find a quiet space for yourself. Also, it is convenient for that quick last little minute shopping or coffee and old school waffle experience at Big Bay Waffle Company 😁

    🌊🌊 A more natural beach than the popular Bloubergstrand Beach. Unfortunately I was there on a light misty day. I hardly could see the Table Mountain to take a famous Table Mountain pic, actually should Bloubergstrand the best place. So finally I had to edit my pics.

    One of my favourite beaches for a good sunset walk. It is so open and there is nothing like a Blouberg breeze. Great for jogging too. I love the fact that it is not a crowded beach and you can have the privilege of a bit of privacy.

    The water here is very cold! So cold that it made the cold beachside showers seem warm. But an overall fun experience. We had a few close encounters with a few seals.

    One of my favourite places for a nice leisure walk, or relaxing on the beach with my family. The picturesque view of Table Mountain from this beach is breathtaking πŸ™‚

    Always feels like a safe beach to go to alone. There's almost always surfers and there seems to be lifeguards on duty every so often. The beach is generally really clean.

    My favourite beach for a great time. Walking the dogs, swimming, surfing, tanning or just for some alone time sitting on a dune and enjoying the views.

  • 4/5 Malieka3 7 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite beaches in Cape Town. The beach is accessible from Big Bay Mall along the west coast in Blouberg. Lifeguards are situated at this popular surfing beach. I have often seen young children taking surfacing lessons at this beach. It's the perfect spot to get a great photo opportunity of Table Mountain. There are also toilets and showers at the beach and lots of restaurant look into the beach. It's always busy and so feels safe.
