Struisbaai is one of the most stunning beaches we've visited. We often take a weekend drive there to take leisurely walks along the shore. Unfortunately, during our last visit, my legs were too sore to enjoy the sand. Nonetheless, the beach is always immaculately clean, and if the weather doesn't cooperate, we love to just sit and admire the breathtaking scenery. 👌

This beach is a true paradise for wind kite surfing and regular surfing, as well as for swimming when the conditions are calm.

This beach is incredibly long and offers great opportunities for walking, running, cycling, and kite surfing when the wind is blowing. The bay is quite shallow and the water is crystal clear, making it an ideal spot for swimming. There are designated areas with lifeguards for added safety. It's worth noting that the beach can get quite narrow during high tide, so it's best to plan your visit accordingly and aim for low tide.

I absolutely adore this beach with its crystal-clear water, charming harbor, pristine white sand, and even the presence of friendly stingrays. It's just my favorite spot.
