Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Vermont Tidal Pool (Western Cape) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Vermont Tidal Pool (Western Cape) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Vermont Tidal Pool for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The children had an exciting opportunity to fish and observe a magnificent octopus at close range. It was a delightful way to start the day before heading to the Onrusrivier lagoon.

A pristine and well-maintained ocean pool that is perfect for a refreshing dip during your jog. It is worth a visit, especially during the December season, despite the possibility of crowds due to the presence of children and pets.
