Great and safe beach in Cape Town. Amazing views and well worth a stop. Beach can be rough, and water is exceptionally cold! Foreshore is nice with excellent food and cafe options. Some nice bars along the foreshore too. Well worth a visit while in Cape Town. Good facilities there too. Very easy to get a bolt there as parking is slightly problematic there

Large sandy beach with rocks on both sides. Beautiful panorama. Strong winds cut our stay short.
