South Africa has a well-deserved reputation for its beaches. In fact, in Nelson Mandela´s world famous country you can find some of the best beaches in Africa. With striking cities like Durban, Johannesburg and the beautiful Cape Town with Table Mountain overlooking the coast, South Africa has become much more than just a destination for safari and rugby lovers.
In fact, Cape Town is the area with the most spectacular beaches. Long Beach is a captivating beach and the best place to walk or ride on horseback along its 4 km of shore. Another good beach in the area is Clifton Beach, and of course, in the best-known area of the city -Garden Route-, Pittenberg Bay stands out as a charming bay to relax and delight in the sea.
Port St. John, also in Cape Town, offers on its second beach the charm of tropical vegetation next to the sea. And if you want peace and quiet and solitude you must visit Umngazi beach.
But Durban is undoubtedly the mecca of beaches with its Beach Front and very favourable winds for windsurfing. In the south, there are also excellent beaches for diving.
With its 3000 km stretch of beaches, South Africa has something special for everyone. So if you want to combine a thrillling safari experience with a visit to Kruger Park or a ride along Garden Route in Cape Town, as well as enjoying these fantastic beaches, do not hesitate to come to South Africa.
