We’ve been to South Africa 6 times so far and have discovered beautiful beaches on almost every trip. Each province in the country is different and has its own unique coastal landscape. From the wild, rugged beaches of the west coast, where the Atlantic often dramatically laps against the cliffs, to the tropical paradises of the east coast with the warm waters of the Indian Ocean – South Africa’s beach diversity is truly enormous.
During our travels, we’ve not only visited the most famous hotspots, but also discovered small, hidden beaches that are often off the beaten track. What never ceases to amaze us is the unique mix of spectacular landscapes and the opportunity to experience something new on almost every beach: be it a sundowner with a view of Table Mountain, a surfing lesson in Muizenberg, or a walk along the pristine Wild Coast.
Whether you want to enjoy nature, be active, or simply relax – South Africa’s beaches are so diverse that you’re guaranteed to find a personal favorite. In this article, we’ll take you to the most beautiful beaches in South Africa and give you tips on what you can experience there, how to get there, and what to look out for.
