Top Beaches In The Western Cape

Many With Blue Flag Status

Stunning beaches including many with Blue Flag status are within 20 to 60 minutes drive from Bellville’s guest accommodation. 

1. Clifton 4th Beach

Chic, Sheltered Cove

Clifton’s most popular cove is famous for its soft white sand, turquoise water and glamorous crowd, and it’s nicely sheltered from the summer south-easter.

2. Camps Bay Beach

Palm Trees & Sunset Cocktails

Backed by the Twelve Apostles, Camps Bay pairs a long arc of sand with tidal pools, palm trees and a lively strip of bars and restaurants – perfect for sunset people-watching.

3. Bloubergstrand Beach

Classic Table Mountain View

On the West Coast, Bloubergstrand gives that iconic postcard view of Table Mountain across Table Bay, plus wide sandy beaches that are popular with kitesurfers and sunset walkers.

4. Muizenberg Beach

Surf & Colourful Beach Huts

Muizenberg is the laid-back surf hub of False Bay, famous for its gentle waves and bright Victorian bathing huts – warmer water and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe.

5. Boulders Beach

Penguins in a Granite Cove

Near Simon’s Town, Boulders Beach is world-famous for its resident African penguin colony, sheltered coves and boardwalks that let visitors view the birds up close.

6. Llandudno Beach

Quiet, Scenic Bay

Tucked between cliffs and giant boulders, Llandudno is one of Cape Town’s most beautiful, unspoilt beaches – popular with surfers and locals who come for sunset picnics and icy Atlantic dips.

7. Noordhoek Beach

Wild, Wide & Windswept

Reached via Chapman’s Peak, Noordhoek’s 5 km of untouched white sand feels wonderfully remote, ideal for long walks, horse-rides and dramatic seascapes.

8. Fish Hoek Beach

Warm, Family-Friendly Bay

On the False Bay side, Fish Hoek offers some of the warmest water, a gently sloping sandy beach, shark-net-protected swimming area and a relaxed, family-holiday atmosphere.

9. Glen Beach

Compact Surf Spot Between Cliffs

Just next to Camps Bay, Glen Beach is a small, sandy cove backed by bungalows and mountains, known for powerful beach-break waves and a more intimate feel than its glamorous neighbour.

10. Hout Bay Beach

Harbour, Mountains & Long Sand

Framed by dramatic peaks and a working harbour, Hout Bay’s long sandy beach is great for walks, horse-rides and easy access to restaurants, markets and the start of Chapman’s Peak Drive.
