Beach holidays in Cape Town

Beach facing Table Mountain Cape Town.
 

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

Drive along the Atlantic Seaboard to find your very own secluded beach or walk along the narrow footpath near Llandudno to reach Sandy Bay, Cape Town's only nudist beach. Out of season, go to Clifton, with its four absolutely gorgeous Blue-Flag beaches perfect for swimming or reading on your Cape Town holidays.

Sporty beaches in Cape Town

Make the most of the strong South-Easter winds on your Cape Town beach holiday and enjoy uninterrupted windsurfing at Sunset Beach. Big Bay attracts kite surfers and dog walkers, while Long Beach is ideal for horse riders. Try surfing in the nearby beach town of Muizenberg, where the waves are gentle. If you're experienced and feeling confident, challenge the beaches off Kalk Bay, Cape Town's hottest surfing spot.

Family beaches in Cape Town

Let your kids build sandcastles on the small Blue-Flag beaches in Clifton, where it's easy to keep an eye on them. Kite flying is popular in Big Bay and Blouberg. Swim at Boulders Beach, where kids and penguins share safe tidal pools.

Party beaches in Cape Town

If partying is the essence of your Cape Town beach holiday, you'll love Camps Bay. The closest to Cape Town city centre, this ultra trendy beach attracts the beautiful crowd. Play beach volleyball to keep fit before sipping cocktails after dark, when the bars liven up and the beach parties really get going.
