Llandudno Beach

Llandudno Beach is a single curve of pale sand at the head of a granite cove on the Atlantic coast, wedged between Camps Bay and Hout Bay.

Camps Bay Beach

Camps Bay Beach is one long, open sweep of pale sand on Cape Town’s Atlantic coast, and it is the city’s most easily reached big beach.
