Nice beach 🏖️ the tidal pool is about 2.4 meter deep. Good place to learn diving and abundant fish life inside with big sea stars. Nice temperature also to swim in

This place has become my favourite beach in an instant.

One of the best beaches I have been to. No shops and restaurants but Dik Frik's food truck is a must visit.

Simply wonderful. This beach is in a cove and had a lot of very decent people basking in the sun playing beach games and swimming. Lifeguards were top notch and the beach was policed all day.

Another beautiful beach 🏖️ ⛱️ Even got a tidal pool. It's very clean.

Lovely beach. The ocean is shallow for a good distance, waves are huge. Lots of beach space and there is parking available. Does get quite busy.

Such a lovely beach to take the kids to. Our first time to this beach and everyone enjoyed themselves so much. It wasn't too busy and they have bathrooms nearby, as well as food vendors.

Our visit to this beautiful beach was marked by both enjoyment and frustration. The natural beauty of the beach, combined with clean sands and inviting waters, provided a picturesque backdrop for a day of swimming. Convenient stalls along the shore offered a variety of treats, including ice cream, burgers, and chips, enhancing the overall experience. Regrettably, the downside to our visit was the presence of individuals who chose to disregard the rules. Despite the signs explicitly prohibiting alcoholic beverages, a considerable number of beachgoers were seen drinking on the beach and playing loud music from their cars. This created an atmosphere that was less than ideal, particularly towards the end of the beach road, where a concentration of people appeared to be intoxicated. The most distressing part of our visit was an incident in which our car was hit by an individual who seemed to be under the influence. It was disappointing to observe a lack of control or patrolling to ensure adherence to the rules, leaving visitors vulnerable to such unfortunate incidents. While the beach itself offers a serene escape, the overall experience was hindered by the absence of effective enforcement of regulations. We hope that measures will be taken to address these issues, making this otherwise beautiful beach a safer and more enjoyable destination for al.

It's most of the time a pleasure to go to Herold's Bay. Love the beach. The toilet facilities is most of the times clean and safe to use.

Herold's bay still retains some of its charm - the beautiful little church down on the beachfront being a high point. However, a lack of control by the municipality in terms of planning has led to crammed in dwellings so close to one another as they sprawl further and further along the east side of the bay has resulted in Herold's bay being nothing special any longer. Visit once but you'll be unlikely to go back.

Great beach, great waves, always a lot of people.

This is a hidden gem...truly a worth the drive type of getaway, beautiful scenery, excellent swimming main beach and a salt water tidel pool. Want a beautiful beach away from the rush of life. Look no further.... beautiful

An awesome location and a hidden gem

Lovely placeespecially the hiking trail to voelklip and the tidal pool where you can snorkle. Very clean beach as well.

Lovely, surprising beach in this small little town. It's an easy beach experience. Parking is right on the beach. The food vendors are on the street, too. It's nice and intimate. I didn't see any lifeguards, though. I would come again :)

Beautiful beach, soft sand. Visited in May and the weather was perfect and very few people around. Only downside is there is no beach front eateries except 2 food trucks. But otherwise Beautiful and quite little seaside resort.

Love Herolds Bay Beach, nice place for a walk or a swim in the ocean. Enjoy a nice ice-cream or some calamari at Dik Friks food stall. Some beach fun for the whole family

Particularly loved the pristine white sand beach and the presence of lifesavers. Be aware of blue bottles being swept onto the beach.

We were there on holiday and it was a lovely, funfilled experience. It is a beautiful place with beautiful nature and birds. We saw dolphins almost every day!! What a wonderful place!! If you go there, please handle nature with care to preserve this paradise for everyone!!

From our balcony we watched the sun rise and spread gold all around the bay, dolphins playing in the bay, we had lovely walks and listened to the loud waves breaking sounds and enjoyed the company of neighbourly monkeys. Herolds Bays is well situated, we took trips to George for shopping and visited beaches nearby for sight seeing. Herolds Bay has a beautiful beach and is a lovely area for swimming or surfing 💖 Herolds Bay is a peaceful place blessed with the songs of the wind and ocean. The people are friendly and it's a place I hated to leave. The little coastal town provides the perfect getaway destination. Beautiful forests, amazing ocean views, lovely beach. We particularly appreciate the fact that it is always clean and safe. We've been visiting Herolds Bay for years, and will hopefully continue for years to come 😊😊😊 Herold’s Bay Beach is a secluded bay nestled at the end of a natural riverine valley in the holiday town of Herold’s Bay, around 15km from George, in the Western Cape. This little coastal hamlet has less than 100 homes, making it extremely alluring to those looking to escape the city. The beach is popular for surfing, swimming, and fishing, and as it is sheltered from the south-easterly wind, it’s also fantastic for sunbathing! There are two tidal pools which offer hours of fun for the little ones at low tide. There are clean ablutions and several ice cream vans usually park off near the beach in summer, offering ice cream, cool drinks, and other snacks.
