Clifton beaches are among the finest in Cape Town, with 4th beach being the easiest to access. It’s amazing to experience calmness here while the wind howls elsewhere on the peninsula.

It's popular for a reason! The water is nice and cool but not too cold. It fills up quickly, so try to arrive early to find a good spot on the beach. We were lucky to get parking not far from the beach entrance.

This beautiful beach is definitely worth the hype! The sand is kept pristine, thanks to the staff. It fills up fast during the day, but the bathrooms were clean. There are many vendors offering umbrellas and loungers, which is a must if you want shade. The water is really cold, the coldest we’ve experienced in the Cape, but can be refreshing in summer! The vibe is fantastic; there's beach volleyball on Thursdays, families are welcome, and you'll find friendly faces everywhere. Visiting is worthwhile at least once!
