This is one of the good beaches for surfing. The well established town has become a surf spot. You will see the beach overrun with surf shops and surf lessons offered. The ability of the surfers range from all levels. One of the important reasons people surf here besides the decent breaks and moderate size of waves is the shark... More

Unless your a surfer, this is not a great place to visit. If your a surfer - it's great! There are one or two nice restuarants for a quick bite - but thats it!

loved the little huts, great for photos but other than that run down and rather shabby looking environment. The beach itself is worth visiting, warm water and long stretches of sand!

Muizenberg beach is one of the best learning to surf spots in all of South Africa. There are several outfitters who will give you lessons, boards, and wetsuits then teach you how to ride the waves! Otherwise, the beach isn't top on my list of places to visit but it is pretty good for kids and for going on long... More

One of the best beaches in Cape Town, when the South Easterly wind doesn't blow. If you are a surfer or just want to take a walk, then this is the beach for you. You won't be disappointed.
