One of the great things about us South African\u2019s is that we don\u2019t let the weather keep us away from doing amazing things. A great example of this is our love for the abundance of picture-perfect beaches along our coasts that, come sunshine, wind or clouds \u2013 you\u2019re bound to find locals enjoying the sights and sounds that are on offer at the South African beaches!<\/p>\n

Of the marvellous beaches that are on offer, some of the most spectacular are found in the coastal cities of Cape Town and Durban. Along with some local tips to further enhance your beach adventures, here are our favourites:<\/p>\n

Cape Town beaches:<\/h2>\n

Llandudno Beach<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not looking out for the sign on the road from Camps Bay to Hout Bay, you may just miss the turn-off to one of the city\u2019s most laid-back and beautiful beaches. Llandudno is especially loved by locals because of its location alone, meaning that you\u2019re bound to run into many easy-going Capetonians. Not just a beach for sunbathing, Llandudno is also a great spot for surfers and bodyboarders alike.<\/p>\n

Local tip: If you\u2019re driving, make sure to arrive very early during peak season as parking fills up easily. Alternatively, take the MyCiti bus and walk down the winding driveway, but be warned the walk back up is bound to be quite a work out!<\/p>\n

\"Llandudno-beach-cape-town\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Camps Bay Beach<\/h3>\n

Probably the most famous beach in all of Cape Town, Camps Bay Beach is a top tourist attraction. It has everything that you could hope for, including sparkly (though somewhat icy!) water, glistering white sand, space for all, nearby convenience stores, top-notch restaurants and also public transport.<\/p>\n

Local tip: During the summer period, it may be difficult to escape the crowds but there\u2019s always a loophole. Unless you don\u2019t mind the crowds, try to visit during the week days. Summer days in Cape Town are long and hot, and even if you\u2019re only getting to the beach at 4.30pm after work, you\u2019re still guaranteed at least two hours of beach time.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Clifton Beaches<\/h3>\n

A staple for the rich, famous and all of us in between, the four Clifton beaches have long since been seen as the <\/em>beaches of Cape Town. Top of the list is Clifton 4th<\/sup> beach, cornered off by million-dollar beach houses, perfectly-placed natural boulders to keep the wind at bay and of course, the most beautiful shimmering waves and white sand. What\u2019s not to admire? Clifton is also home to 1st<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> beach \u2013 each known for their somewhat different crowds but each a masterpiece of its own. Do yourself a favour and walk along the coast from 1st<\/sup> to 4th<\/sup> beach to take in its full grandeur!<\/p>\n

Local tip: The beaches of Clifton can get pretty packed as well, but for a slightly thinner crowd head over to 2nd<\/sup> and 1st<\/sup> beach.<\/p>\n

\"clifton-beach-cape-town\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Boulders Beach<\/h3>\n

Boulders Beach is the perfect beach-meets-picnic spot. The water is warmer (thankfully!) due to its location on the Indian Ocean side of the Cape Peninsula and the large boulders in the water make for a pretty safe and tranquil spot to float on your back and just unwind. Of course, one cannot mention Boulders Beach without talking about the African penguins that you\u2019re bound to see! Picture yourself not just admiring them from a distance, but instead sharing a sandy spot with them just two metres away, or swimming right next to these feathery cuties in the ocean \u2013 there\u2019s nothing quite like it for sure!<\/p>\n

Local tip: Go early and pack in plenty of food and drinks to last you many, many hours as you\u2019ll find it hard to want to leave this ideal location!<\/p>\n

\"boulders-beach-cape-town\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Long Beach\/Noordhoek Beach<\/h3>\n

One of Cape Town\u2019s most underrated, but spectacular beaches would have to be Long Beach in Noordhoek. Long Beach runs along the Atlantic coast for eight kilometres so you never have to truly worry about the beach overcrowding. Instead, you can catch up on some surfing, enjoy a fresh swim or even do some horse riding.<\/p>\n

Local tip: Enjoy this beach at any time you please, and make sure to pack in your own wetsuit and board if you plan on doing some surfing or bodyboarding, as there are no rental shops in the nearby vicinity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Muizenberg Beach<\/h3>\n

A firm favourite with families and surfers alike, Muizenberg Beach has been a staple go-to throughout the years. The coast is lined with surf shops and an array of food options from gourmet pizza joints to classic fish and chips. You\u2019ll find young and old in the waters here and surfers from beginner level to pro \u2013 on the days that the wave swells are playing along!<\/p>\n

Local tip: Leave your car at home if you\u2019re travelling from the Southern Suburbs and hop onto the local Metro train. It will save you on petrol and parking costs, and the beach is literally a two-minute walk from the train station doors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Durban beaches:<\/h2>\n

Umhlanga Rocks Beach<\/h3>\n

The golden sand of this glorious stretch is guaranteed to get you swimming! Unlike the colder waters of the Cape Peninsula beaches, the beaches of KwaZulu Natal invite you in as the temperatures have been known to hit 25 degrees Celsius during summer! Umhlanga Rocks Beach is one of Durban\u2019s finest, with an enigmatic ebb and flow of the waves. The paved walkway alongside the ocean allows visitors to take in its sights before heading in and enjoying its warm waters.<\/p>\n

Local tip: bring your wellies if you\u2019re a bit of an explorer as there are some great rock pools to explore along the beach.<\/p>\n

\"umhlanga-rocks-beach\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

North Beach<\/h3>\n

North Beach in Durban is possibly the most well-known and popular beach in all of Durban. There\u2019s so much variety of activities to do here that you could plan to stay in the area for a week and still not get bored. The warm waters offer the ideal swimming location, but be warned that it does get extremely crowded and you may need to get there at 6am to find a good spot during the summer holidays!<\/p>\n

Local tip: Not just a beach to be enjoyed during the daytime hours, North Beach is known to be a thriving and energetic evening location too. Pack some cash in your back pocket as you enjoy some of Durban\u2019s finest treats along the boardwalk.<\/p>\n

\"north-beach-durban\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Cape Vidal Beach<\/h3>\n

Located within the Cape Vidal Nature Reserve, the bay has some of the most stunning beach areas in all of South Africa. Crystal clear waters hit the golden sand of the shoreline and it\u2019s as if you\u2019ve been transported to another world! Perhaps not renowned as a swimming sight, Cape Vidal beach is perfect for fishing and glorious walks as you admire the contrast of ocean to sand dunes right alongside.<\/p>\n

Local tip: Make sure to pack in your camera as you may just be in luck and spot some sea turtles nesting in the summertime. You can also catch sight of Humpback Whales doing their annual winter migration.<\/p>\n

\"cape-vidal-durban\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Willard Beach, Ballito<\/h3>\n

Calling all surfers, bodyboarders and everyone else who enjoys some good waves with the sun on their skin! Willard Beach is the main beach of the town of Ballito, just outside Durban, and you can rest assured that you\u2019ll have a great time on this Blue Flag beach. Another firm favourite just around the corner from Willard Beach is Thompson Beach.<\/p>\n

Local tip: the beach gets really crowded during peak season and summer weekends. If you\u2019re not too keen on this, there are plenty of other, more secluded beaches in the Ballito area for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Make sure to take advantage of the long summer days that are almost on our shores and book your cheap flights to Cape Town<\/a> and Durban<\/a>!<\/p>\n
