Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Total peace,calm & serenity, white sandy beaches,barely no waves just a hint of surf.
Lot's of restaurants & bars around, great friendly environment with beautiful people all round.
Safe and secure with locker rooms, showers and snacks on the beach.
A tropical Island feel, i'll be back.

What a great beach to spend the day at. Santos beach was great today, with little or no wind. The relatively calm waves is great for the little one. We visited the nearby ice cream vendor and enjoyed two large and one small sugar cones for less than R50.00. The beach has two toilet facilities and occassional life savers patrolling. Along the grassy areas are the ideal picnic spots including beach lapas. There is ample parking and also overnight accomodation from the nearby guest houses.
In the near distance you can view the Dias museum and the harbour.

Santos is one of the two beaches closest to town centre. There is plenty to do on the beach and there are eating places nearby. The current is less harsh at santos but still one must take care and observe all weather warnings.

Certainly one of the best portion of beaches in Mosselbaai. Super clean, calm turquoise waters, shark nets, a real family beach. A big bonus is the thatch umbrellas to lounge under. Nice and quiet and accessible out of season, but a nightmare in peak season.

What a smashing beach 🏖 this is. Very quiet on a Monday. We had a tender trip from Azamara cruise ship. Lucky 🍀 us, as we got to stay overnight too

A beautiful and peaceful beach. Within walking distance to the restaurants at the harbour and the Jackal on the Beach restaurant situated right on the sand at the beach. Ample parking space, showers and ablution facilities provided. A great beach for children and adults alike with the calm waters of the bay providing a great swimming experience. Thatched umbrellas provide shade for those wanting to spend time or have a picnic on the grass area on the one side of this beautiful beach. Clean soft sand makes this beach a gem.

Hi! We are a group of 5 and our flight will reach Cape Town on 28th Sept at 11:45 in the night. What is the safest and cheapest way to get to Santos Beach by morning? Thanks in advance for your help!
Written 5 September 2017
I believe that is better if you rent a car and drive. It is a long way drive from Cape Town.
You can rent a car for 10 usd a day.
