This beach is a peaceful escape from the crowds that tend to gather in the town center of Hermanus. Despite limited parking, the views are stunning and a leisurely stroll to the east or west is a must. The area feels secure and open, with safety officers patrolling the vicinity. The pathway is paved and accessible to wheelchair users. Swimming is not advised due to the rocky shoreline and polluted river that flows into the water. However, there are ample benches for relaxation and a portable bathroom is available on site. All in all, it's definitely worth a visit.
