Recharge on your beach holiday in Cape Town with horse rides at Long Beach and
water sports in Big Bay. Long and sandy, Cape Town beaches are also great for
romantic strolls and, if the South-Easter (local strong south-easterly wind) blows, take
shelter in an intimate bar overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Families will love swimming
with penguins in nearby Boulders Beach.
Secluded beaches in Cape Town

Cape Town holidays.
