Beaches of Cape Town

The Cape Metropole (greater Cape Town) has a wide variety of beaches divided into three regions by the Cape Peninsula:

  • False Bay, including the long sandy beach running from Gordon's Bay to Muizenberg, and the smaller beaches along the East side of the Cape Peninsula
  • Atlantic Seaboard, along the West (Atlantic) side of the Cape Peninsula
  • Blaauwberg/West Coast, along the Blaauwberg coast running Northwards from Cape Town

The sea in False Bay is about 6 degrees warmer than the Atlantic Seaboard and the West Coast.

In 2011, Lonely Planet listed Cape Town second in its list of the world's top 10 beach cities.
