If the wind is good, then the kite surfers make a fantastic addition to this wonderful scenic spot. My husband is a keen amateur photographer and loves getting those action shots of the kite surfers at play. Even without them, the views over the bay are magnificent. Lovely area for people cycling, jogging, walking the dogs or just taking a... More

Bloubergstrand Beach would be perfect if not for the freezing cold water. Stepping in, you feel as if your brain is going to explode and that your bones will break if you take another step in. The Kite Surfers love it but even they would not venture in without a wetsuit. Safe and clean. Leave your fishing rod at home... More

I can see why many artists have chosen this destination for paintings. Scenic and clean, many come here to walk, jog, meditate or play in the shallows. We bring our kids here every weekend to unwind.

This is a lovely beach with a stunning view of Robben Island and Table Mountain. All the shops are near and plenty to choose from. Lovely clean beaches with toilets close by.

Just a nice beach with a spectacular view. Disappointed about restaurants and facilities behind. Take your camera and go just before sunset. I was a bit windy and chilly too in May, bring along a light jacket! Taxis are hardly found nearby so if you are taking one there make sure you get his number so you can call one... More

We rented a lovely condo near the beach for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular views and sunsets from our 4th floor balcony. The kite surfers were amazing to watch! A nice place to be away from the city, but still close enough to visit. Just wish there were some better restaurants there. Plenty of pizza, sushi and take-away... More

There is only ONE way you should experience Bloubergstrand - Go to the Blue Peter Restaurant, order some beer and pizza and watch the sun set right over Robben island. The views of Table mountain is quite spectacular from Bloubergstrand, and when it is low tide, you can walk quite deep in to some sand banks of Bloubergstrand. Or do... More
