Saunders' Rocks Beach

Beach

👍 Such a cool little Tidal pool. Tons of boulders and smaller rock pools for the kids to climb and splash about. The rocks are great for tanning.

Camps Bay Beach

👍 Very nice beach with the Vista of table mountain's twelve apostles.

Bloubergstrand Beach

Beach

👍 Beautiful laid back beach. This beach can often get overcrowded with kite surfers on windy days so if you prefer a more relaxed family beach try other areas.
