This beach is a true gem, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Take a moment to pause and marvel at the incredible sand sculptures crafted by talented artists along the shore beneath Lookout Deck. The scenery is simply breathtaking, and the atmosphere is so serene and calming. It's an ideal spot to unwind and soak up the sun's warmth while enjoying the soothing sound of the waves. A visit to this beach is a must-do for anyone seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Despite the picturesque view of this beach, it is a shame that some of the locals have a complete disregard for hygiene and leave behind their used condoms and wrappers on the sand. It is advisable to be cautious and watch where you step as you enter the beach. It is unfortunate that such a beautiful place is tarnished by the lack of consideration from a few individuals.

The beach offers of unspoiled splendor, showcasing a stunning lagoon, estuary (Keurbooms River), and picturesque views of distant mountains (Tsitsikama). It is a definite must-visit, with the added bonus of catching a glimpse of the rare pansy shells that are exclusive to this area. So, take a stroll and immerse yourself in the natural beauty that surrounds you.

This beach is an absolute wonder, boasting breathtaking views of the bay that seem to stretch on forever. The sand is incredibly soft and fine, and the waves are simply fantastic for surfing or swimming. One of the highlights of this beach is the opportunity to find your own collection of delicate pansy shells during low tide, although they do require a gentle touch as they are quite fragile. From the vantage point of La Vista Lodge, you can truly appreciate the stunning beauty of the entire bay and the magnificent lookout beach in a way that is unparalleled.
