The 5 Best Beaches in Cape Town Central, Western Cape

June 23, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City." The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.

I have been coming to Clifton beaches for the last 40 years. One of the most beautiful beach on the Planet, in the middle of an amazing city, Cape Town, with Lion's Head as a backdrop, wind sheltered, and soft fine sand. What more could you ask for ??

Sandy Bay

Sandy Bay is the unofficial "nudist beach", kept private by no direct vehicle access. This highly inaccessible beach offers a tranquil setting and a good break for surfing.

Beautiful beach with stunning views. Nudism. A nice place where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Fish Hoek Beach

Fish Hoek beach is on False Bay and one of the prettiest beaches on the Cape Peninsular. We saw dolphins bait balling close to shore as we were driving close to Fish Hoek.

Muizenberg Beach

Though the beach is still popular, the elegant splendor that once graced this seaside resort community barely shows through the paved-over streets, fast-food eateries and shopping centers.

Reviewed By 641dwightb - Peterborough, Canada

I loved our day at the beach, complete with surf lessons on a beautfil beach. Lots of room so you can get your surf on or go for a swim and then lounge in one of the restaurants from some great eats or a cold drink. Some great surf shops and places to rent boards and wetsuits. If only I could stay forever!
