Beaches

Cape Town has a whopping 72 beaches with a coastline extending 307 kilometres along the West coast, Cape Peninsula and False Bay. The beaches are visited not only by locals and tourists, but wild animals as well. Boulders Beach is home to African Penguins and during breeding season, one can catch a glimpse of whales. Boulders Beach remains the only place in the world where one can get up close the the African Penguins.

The four Clifton beaches are regarded as being amongst the most beautiful in the world. From these beautiful beaches, you can gaze out across the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean and up to the majestic mountain peaks such as Lions Head and the 12 Apostles that tower above Camps Bay.

Camps Bay Beach is where the well-to-do and the famous congregate to see and be seen. Cool off in the natural tidal pool or head for one of the stylish sundowner venues overlooking the bay.

Muizenberg Beach is the ultimate family beach with beautiful, warm water and colourful Victorian bathing boxes.

It is no surprise that Cape Town was one of the first cities to earn blue flag status for some of their beaches.
