Is the beach good for sunbathing?

L'Agulhas 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 L'Agulhas 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 L'Agulhas tidal pool for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.

4 Frustrating

If you happen to be traveling in a camper van, this place might be alright, but my husband and I, who are traveling by bicycle, had a very restless night at the campground. On the positive side, the restroom facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. However, there were a few drawbacks such as the absence of a fence and security guard, and a rowdy group of fishermen who kept the party going throughout the night.

The caravan plots are well-maintained and the taps and power outlets are in good working condition. The bathrooms are always kept clean and locked, with only park visitors having access to them. There are separate areas for washing dishes and cleaning fish. The staff is very friendly and the caravan park is not overly strict about early departures, showing their kindness. Adjacent to the camping area, there is a tide pool where children can catch crabs and small fish using small rocks. There are also small starfish to be found. However, caution should be exercised when swimming in deeper waters due to the presence of Man o' War jellyfish. Just across the street, there is a shop called The Southernmost Cafe of Africa that provides all the essential camping supplies. In case you run out of soap or toilet paper, you can easily find them at the shop. Additionally, this place offers houses to stay in, although I have never personally experienced them as I have always stayed in a caravan. From the outside, the houses appear to be quite small, but they have a pleasant front porch and braai area.
