    this was my favorite beach to visit <3 It took me a second to find the entrance haha but I thought it was very unique to be walking down the steep stairs past peoples houses. I absolutely loved my time here. The ocean is so pure and beautiful here, and I watched a few sunsets here. (and of course I picked up any trash I found along the beach LOL)

    Dog friendly beach? Yes please. Clifton first beach is just wonderful. Uber during peak periods and weekends cause parking is impossible.

    Gorgeous beach. Unlike Camps Bay, Clifton beaches are mostly secluded from winds.

    It is a more secluded beach and dogs and people have an amazing time . Highly recommend. Hiring an apartment in this area as you have direct beach access.

    Clifton 1st Beach is a beautiful beach that has amazing Views of the ocean, it is the perfect beach to sit and watch the Sunrise and Sunset. Located in between Camps Bay and Sea Point this beach offers Icy Cold water and Soft Silky Sand.

    Most beautiful Beach I ever visit

  • 4/5 Nava B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful beach for sure. Many sea weeds come to the beach by water. It's very crowded to my taste. The good thing about it is that it's family friendly.

  • 5/5 Michelle H. 1 year ago on Google
    Pet friendly beach. So beautiful! Lots of stairs to get up and down to the beach.

  • 3/5 Lehlohonolo C. 2 years ago on Google
    333 steps to access the beach. Do not recommend. But the beach is beautiful and not crowded.

  • 3/5 Riclufer 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A beach smaller than Camps Bay, but just as popular. Million strongholds, there are some of the most expensive properties in South Africa. It is divided into four parts, called Clifton 1 (quieter), 2 (familiar), 3 (GLS) and 4 (more popular), which are one of the side by side and are divided by portions of stones. (Original) Uma praia menor que Camps Bay, mas tão badalada quanto. Reduto de milionários, lá estão alguns dos imóveis mais caros da África do Sul. Está dividida em quatro partes, chamadas Clifton 1 (mais tranquila), 2 (familiar), 3 (GLS) e 4 (mais badalada), que estão uma do lado da outra e são divididas por porções de pedras.

    (Translated by Google) Very chic place. Had a holiday home on a slope with a view of the sea when we stayed in Cape Town. Fantastic. Great place and great beaches. (Original) Sehr schicker Ort. Hatten bei unserem Aufenthalt in Kapstadt hier ein Ferienhaus am Hang mit Blick aufs Meer. Traumhaft. Toller Ort und tolle Strände.

  • 5/5 Abel A. 4 years ago on Google
    This is one of the most amazing beaches I have ever been in my whole life. Is just astonishing and beautiful. If you are lucky you can find parking in the main roads. Then you have to follow the narrow pedestrians roads to get down to the beach. The place is just mind blowing. The sand is fine and clean, lot of space to chill or to do picnic. It’s really worth the ride to get there, you won’t regrets it.
