Cape Point is home to some of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in the Cape. A large number of people who visit Cape Point do so to use the famous Flying Dutchman Funicular, visit the old lighthouse, or to dine at the Two Oceans Restaurant. And, obviously, to take in the incredible views from the most South Western corner of Africa. But there are several few beaches that are well worth exploring as well. Always exercise caution when venturing into the waters to swim or surf. There are strong currents at Cape Point that make some of these beaches unsuitable for swimmers, and there is no lifeguard on duty, but the beaches make up for it with perfect soft sand and idyllic views perfect for long, reflective walks.

A very popular holiday spot for locals and a big attraction for tourists is Noetzie Beach, situated in Knysna on the glorious Garden Route. The beach here has a magical air about it and it feels as though you have been whisked away to paradise. This outstanding beach with beautiful sands has a lush green backdrop with three stunning castles set amongst these forest-covered hills. The water is pristine and is safe for paddling, swimming, and kayaking as well as surfing, whether you are a beginner or more experienced. Anglers don’t mind spending hours here admiring the views while waiting for their catch. The opportunity of a romantic picnic or stroll along Noetzie Beach with your loved one shouldn’t be missed.
