Cape Town beaches are idyllic with their white sands and stunning sceneries. There are 3 Blue Flag beaches in Cape Town: Clifton, Bikini and Mnandi.
Clifton has 4 beaches – the most popular is Beach No. 4, usually crowded by a lively, youthful holiday crowd. Beach 3 is Cape Town’s gay hangout by the sea, and Beach 2 is frequented by a large student population. The 3 beaches house a large number of accommodations in all budget ranges. For a little quiet and seclusion, Beach 1 is the perfect place to be.
Clifton waters are cold and not suitable for swimming and diving. However, jet-skiing, yacht and speed-boating can be enjoyed. Clifton is great for families with kids and for people who love sunbathing. Alcohol is not allowed on Clifton beach, so a good idea is to stock up on light drinks.
The other popular beach, Bikini, is located in a coastal village in Gordon Bay on the Whale Coast. Bikini is surrounded by the Hottentot's Holland mountain range. The water here is warm and ideal for swimming and underwater sports. A wide range of lodging options can also be found at Bikini beach.
