I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this beach. I was seeking a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere to work on a Sunday afternoon, and I found just that. There were families, friends, and a reassuring police presence patrolling the area throughout the day. Additionally, it was a great spot for relaxation as I observed a gentleman fishing nearby while the vigilant lifeguards kept watch. Unfortunately, the lack of restroom facilities caused some inconvenience as people were taking holy dips and had nowhere to relieve themselves. Nevertheless, the water was stunning and made up for this minor issue.

If you're fond of basking in the great outdoors to unwind and clear your thoughts, this beach is a must-visit. It's an idyllic spot for both fishing enthusiasts and those who love to take a dip in the refreshing waters. I highly recommend it.

The beach in Cape Town was an absolute delight and spending time there with my family was an incredible experience. Being a native of this place, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of nostalgia and tranquility as I soaked in the serene beauty of the place, which was a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg. I'm already planning to return and stay in a cozy bed and breakfast, and any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

The beach is absolutely stunning and boasts a great tidal pool that is perfect for a refreshing dip. Although the infrastructure could use some attention and upkeep, it still makes for a lovely day trip destination. Despite the low rating due to the maintenance issues, the natural beauty of the beach and surrounding area make it a worthwhile visit.

The beach is an exquisite sight, maintained impeccably by the local community. The pristine appearance of the beach is truly captivating. We participated in a Helping Hands initiative sponsored by The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, and it was an enjoyable experience. Although there wasn't much to tidy up, we made sure to do our part.
