The beaches here are absolutely perfect, with soft sand and picturesque views that are sure to take your breath away. However, it is important to exercise caution when swimming in the waters, as the waves can be quite strong and hazardous. Despite this, the great waves are a draw for many surfers and water enthusiasts who enjoy the thrill of riding the waves.

The beach is absolutely stunning, but the heat can be quite intense and the cost of shade can be quite steep, around R300. Despite these factors, the natural beauty of the beach is still worth experiencing.

This beach is undeniably charming, but regrettably, litter and shards of glass can be spotted scattered throughout the sand. It's essential to be mindful of your surroundings when strolling barefoot. On the plus side, the water is pleasantly warm, but if you're not an adept swimmer, it can pose a risk.

Riding a horse on the beach was an unforgettable experience, but the currents prevented us from swimming out too far. Despite this, we still had a great time playing in the water and on the sand, which was absolutely stunning.
