Best places: Beaches in Constantia, South Africa

Spacious, low-key sand beach framed by granite boulders, a popular place to surf & watch the sunset.

Busy beach with white sand, umbrella rentals, scenic mountain views & access to bars & restaurants.

👍👍 Beautiful beach with lots to do, from taking the kids to fish in small ponds, to fishing out from the rocks. Perfect combination of sandy beach with Rocky pools. You can take your dogs for a run or just chill under an umbrella. I really enjoyed my visit here.

👍 Very nice beach with the Vista of table mountain's twelve apostles. Right by the road so there are cafes to get some lunch or drinks, but there are salespeople selling ice-cream Anne sidas on the beach too! Parking is an issue though and by the end of the day the massive amount of sunbathers leave t...

👍👍 Fantastic place during the whole day. It is a place for everybody. For walking, swimming, or other water sports such as kites or surfing. Nearby are some nice places where to grab some fresh food or drink. The beach is also good just take a break and watch the clouds above the Table mountain behind...

👍 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. It's also fairly safe for a night visit. Unlike beaches in Durban I'm assuming all beaches in cape down do not have wash down facilities, so I...

Wide sandy strip with mountain views & a lagoon, known for seasonal sightings of migrating whales.

Ocean hot spot featuring white sand, clear waters, beach volleyball & a nearby bar & nightclub.

This small sandy beach is popular for surfing & also features grassy lawns for picnicking.

👍👍 Yet another gem in the Western Cape, about an hours drive from Cape Town or Malmesbury. This beach was not over crowded when we were there and was clean and we really could enjoy the day with our dogs. There is quite a bit of parking and one does not have to walk far to get onto the beach. There are...

Swimming & surfing along a stretch of shoreline with lodging, plus island & mountain views.

👍👍 Brilliant beach for swimming, especially when you have younger children. The river mouth provides a safe and shallow swimming atea, while the beach and ocean provides a little more adventures. Awesome place to explore.

White-sand beach with Victorian beach huts & a playground, popular for swimming & whale watching.

👍👍 Nicest view of the spot... while you waiting for the waves you just spot Chapman peak... 😃 Good swell nearly every time and day Always clean changing rooms and toilet. Really tip 🔝

👍👍 Clean beach front and picnic area. Toilets are well kept and even had toilet paper. Impressed me a lot that it even had the soap liquid dispenser. It has a really nice park for the children and a outside gym area. Canoeing is allowed and operating. Little to no hazards. Good for the whole family. Po...

👍 Thomas T Tucker hiking trail. Situated in the Cape Point Nature Reserve, what a gem. A short 2h30min walking trail, part on the beach and part on the ridge of the hills overlooking the ocean. The start of this trail is at the car park of Olifantsbos beach. You then take an easy flat walk over some r...

😐 Always parking along the beach somewhere. Check the weather before going down.. windy most of the time. Great spot for checking out the kite surfers.

👍 It's a tiny peice of beach and (like the name says) a good place to come, sit and watch the sun go down. Swimming is not recommended as there are no lifeguards on duty, but it's open to dog-walking and people gather in the evening - some to watch the sunset, other to relax after a run, and others t...

🫤 This place has the potential to be memorable and would deserve 5 stars; Underwater, for sure. Above water, (1 star at best) if visitors do not respect nature or more and stricter policing (litter, loud music and alcohol) is not applied, this place will become another dumpsite.

Known for its brightly painted beach huts, this escape from the city is popular with surfers.
