The beach is absolutely beautiful. The only way to get to the beach is through stairs, not wheelchair accessible. I also have a good time here. Very safe

Not suitable for someone with mobility challenges, as there are a lot of steps leading down to the beach. The beach itself, however, is absolutely beautiful! There is parking across the road.

A very beautiful beach. Much nicer than Camps Bay, and not as windy. Sunbeds and, very importantly, sun umbrellas are available for rent. You can enjoy the day here; soft drinks are also available.
