As an extremely underrated country, South Africa might only be known abroad for its riches such as diamonds, minerals and exceptional farming. The country is also known for its famous mountain paired with its beautiful beaches in the city of Cape Town, which might even be admired as a wonder all on its own as the two combined are considered a scenery unlike any other in the world.
To many people’s shock, Cape Town is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to its beautiful beaches. The beach that surrounds the mountain does not conclude to one beach, but several natural beautiful wonders. The province itself also has a beautiful West Coast, as well as a string of beaches paired with extraordinary forestation sights, famously known as Knysna and the Garden Route.
Must-See Beaches in South Africa
Camps Bay
If you’re a tourist or even a local, you really want to explore this beach and not only once but over and over again. With tons of cafés and restaurants surrounding the beautiful shorelines of Camps Bay, it is considered one of the most popular tourist attractions around the mother city.
Llandudno Beach
As a magical little, lesser-known by some, beach, Llandudno beach is situated in a cove called Logies Bay, overlooking the village of Llandudno. This ultimate little secret hiding place is a bit more intimate and private as it only has one road leading to it and very little parking. It is also the ideal location for swimming, catching a tan and playing games or sports.
Grotto Beach, Hermanus
With over 11 miles of clean, white beaches, close to Walker Bay in Hermanus, this beach is the number one spot for land-based whale watching in the entire world. Watching these beautiful creatures swim and jump through the air is an experience like none other.
Clifton 4th Beach
Situated close to Camps Bay, Clifton 4th beach has extremely beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and is noticed as one of Cape Town’s more elite beaches. Now, you might be thinking, what about the Clifton 1st, 2nd and 3rd beaches? Well, they are equally as beautiful, Clifton 4th beach is just the only one that has the blue flag status.
Lappiesbaai Beach, Still Bay
Located further away from Cape Town, this beach is situated along the Garden Route, which is also one site that will make you feel like you’re in heaven. It’s a peaceful beach with a perfect view, much like a painting, in fact.
