CAPE BEACHES

There are many different beaches and each with a different character.

It is a fact that we hardly ever swim at the beaches around Cape Town. Water temperature on average is about 12°C. Having said that, the beaches in general are nice and clean and great fun. Children obviously love the sand and space. For the more adventurous, some beaches are quite popular for surfing, kite surfing and various other beach/sea related activities.

Villa10 is only 10minutes from the nearest beach, and not more than 30minutes from any of the beaches shown on this list. All of the beaches mentioned here are children and family friendly.

Feel free to ask for detailed directions to any of these beaches and also the 'clothing optional' beaches not on this list.
