This was my second trip to Cape Town, so we ventured a little further afield and were able to explore some of the lesser-known, but no less beautiful, parts of South Africa. Here are a few things I had never seen or heard of before, but really enjoyed.
Beaches Galore!
Rocky, sandy, warm, cold, with penguins, without penguins...South Africa has a beach to suit every taste!
One of the nicest off-the-tourist-track beaches we went to was in Noordhoek. The crystal clear waters, soft white sand and green, hilly backdrop made it a visual treat. There's even a nifty, 100 year old shipwreck about 2 kms down the beach.
Noordhoek and the remains of the 'Kakapo'There's just one little catch...Noordhoek is on the Atlantic. So even in the height of summer, the water is ice cold! If all you're looking for is a place to dip your toes on a hot day, this is perfect. But anything more than a toe and you might want to head to Simon's Town or Fish Hoek.
