Cape Town Beaches

Hit the beach with the family. No less than seven of Cape Town’s beaches have been awarded Blue Flag status. Blue Flag Status is given to beaches that meet certain stringent guidelines. Checks on these beaches are done to ensure that the water is of the highest quality, quality facilities are offered and that no sewerage or other discharges mar the beach. Other things looked for, are the fact that lifeguards are on duty and that clean drinking water is available.

The beaches awarded this accolade are: Camps Bay, Clifton Fourth, Muizenberg, Strandfontein, Mnandi, Big Bay and Bikini Beach in Gordon’s Bay.

These are just some of the many things to do in Cape Town as we gear up for summer.
