Besides the stunning beach and the welcoming locals, I want to give a special shout-out to the cleaners responsible for maintaining this public area and the mayor of this town. The public toilets here are the cleanest in all of South Africa. Great job, everyone! We'll definitely be back for another visit.

The beachfront provides a spacious and lengthy area for beach enthusiasts, and it also offers suitable facilities for children. Additionally, there is a significant lack of parking, particularly during the festive season when there is a large influx of people. However, the beach is well-maintained, secure, and has sufficient police presence for safety.

The table at this beach is absolutely delicious, definitely deserving of a five-star rating. The food here is incredible, I've tried almost everything on the menu and there hasn't been a single disappointment. You can't make a wrong choice by coming to this place. The food is so good, it's worth every penny! This is my go-to spot for breakfast, it's simply the best!
