Latest reviews on Durbanville's beaches

Glen Beach
10 Lerato Molefe

Whether you want to spend quality time with friends, family, or by yourself, this beach is perfect for you. The security is tight, with vigilant and attentive lifeguards. You can also rent an umbrella for R70 (regular customers receive a discount). Additionally, there are vendors selling ice cream, and a Kauai café is just a 3-minute walk away if you want to grab a warm coffee. I was there to get some work done, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.

This beach is like a model - funny, but it has a fantastic atmosphere, and it's so relaxing and stunning.

Bakoven Beach
10 Rinu Jumalova

This beach is absolutely stunning and it's located in the most exclusive neighborhood in the city. I've been coming here a lot to relax and take refreshing dips in the cold water with my group of friends called the Melanin Mermaid dip squad. You can swim out into the bay and be amazed by the breathtaking view of the sun rising over the Twelve Apostles or the sunset, which is truly unforgettable. Join me for an incredible experience.

Camps Bay beach
10 Zahidullah

The beach is truly lovely and immaculate, with pristine sands and clear waters. However, it's important to be mindful of the commercial aspects of the area, as there are paid options for umbrellas and chairs. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for refreshments and dining nearby, including a conveniently located Starbucks and a range of excellent restaurants.

Camps Bay Tidal pool
10 Salim Ahmed.

The Camps Bay tidal pool and the surrounding rocks offer an atmosphere of pure bliss and relaxation, especially during sunset. It's an excellent spot for picnics and a refreshing swim, whether it's day or night. The area is expansive and breathtaking, making it an ideal location for families with children. As you approach the edge, the water gets deeper, making it a cool spot for adults to take a dip. This location is truly one of the most incredible places to visit in Cape Town, even at night, as there are stores directly across from the tidal pool. Restrooms are conveniently located nearby, but the restaurant is always my go-to choice.

Big Bay beach
10 Larissa Trentham

The stunning sight of Table Mountain in the backdrop is truly awe-inspiring and leaves me breathless every time. It's a perfect spot for a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
