Franskraal, located within the stunning Walker Bay Nature Reserve near De Kelders and Gansbaai, boasts a picturesque beach that I thoroughly enjoyed during my five-night stay in October 2020. The natural beauty of the beach, complete with rocks and ocean views, provided the perfect backdrop for moments of quiet contemplation. Whether sitting on a rock, in the sand, or on one of the small dunes, or simply strolling along the shore, there were ample opportunities to observe the local bird life and collect shells.

This beach has some of the finest sand around, but be prepared for a lot of stairs to access it. If you're in a wheelchair, this may not be the best choice for you.
