Cape Town Beaches

Cape Town is a paradise for anyone who loves to spend time soaking up the rays or riding the waves. Featuring some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Cape Town is a haven of white sands and sparkling seas. There are numerous beaches in and around the city, and the ones you choose to visit will probably depend upon the type of beach activities you most enjoy.

The Cape is surrounded by the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, which meet at Cape Point. The two oceans – one warmer, one cooler – both lap the shores of pearly white beaches, which offer ideal conditions for sunbathing, swimming, water sports, picnicking and recreational sports. Before hitting the sand, find out a bit more about these famous beaches, to discover which ones you’d most like to experience.

Cape Town beach guide

Best beaches for quality

Six of Cape Town’s beaches have been awarded prestigious Blue Flag status by the Foundation for Environmental Education in Denmark. Blue Flag status is given to beaches of an exceptional quality, and which feature a high standard of cleanliness, safety, facilities and water quality. In Cape Town, these beaches are Clifton Fourth Beach, Mnandi Beach, Bikini Beach (in Gordon’s Bay), Muizenberg, Strandfontein and part of Camps Bay Beach.

Best beaches for sunbathing

Camps Bay and Clifton beaches are rated as some of the best beaches for sunbathing, picnicking and enjoying the warm summer weather. Camps Bay Beach is lined with exotic palm trees, while Clifton is the place to see and be seen! Granite boulders at Clifton, separating the strip into four beaches, offer protection from the wind. Meanwhile, the trendy cafés and restaurants opposite Camps Bay Beach offer a refreshing time-out from the sun after a day spent sunbathing and swimming.

Best beaches for water sports

Little Bay and Big Bay beaches, near Blouberg, are ideal for kite-surfing, windsurfing, flying kites and paddle skiing. They also offer magnificent views of Table Mountain, and are popular amongst families. The water is quite chilly, thanks to the cooler Atlantic currents. However, windy conditions make Blouberg’s beaches a favourite amongst water sports enthusiasts.

Best beaches for swimming

The waters of the Indian Ocean are significantly warmer than those of the Atlantic, and thus, the beaches at False Bay are popular for swimming. These beaches are generally also quieter and more relaxed than the Atlantic Seaboard beaches, such as Camps Bay and Clifton. Muizenberg and Fish Hoek Beaches are both popular among families, and offer great conditions for recreational games and swimming.

Best beach for kids

Boulders Beach is famous for its large colony of African penguins, which delight both young and old visitors. And, thanks to its gentle waves and sheltered strips, Boulders is ideal for swimming – especially for kids. Best of all, you’ll get to swim alongside the penguins, or peer into their colonies as you trot along the boardwalk above the dunes. The scenery at Boulders Beach is spectacular, and a trip to this beach is recommended for any visitor to the Cape.

Best beaches for a truly South African experience

At the harbour of Hout Bay Beach is the Mariner’s Wharf – a restaurant offering authentic fish-and-chips, South African style. Spend a day building sandcastles on this family-friendly beach, and be sure to sample the delicious fresh fish and chips served the old-fashioned way – in paper wrappers and boxes. Hout Bay Beach is also good for kayaking and horse riding.

Best beaches for unspoilt beauty

Noordhoek and Kommetjie Beaches are some of the Cape’s most serene beaches, unspoilt and blissfully quiet. Noordhoek Beach, with its 8km curve of powder-white sand, is ideal for horse-riding, kite flying and surfing. Kommetjie Beach is popular among families, and is also a great spot for surfing. Large tidal pools and long stretches of beach – perfect for seaside games – make it a favourite among kids and ideal for families.
