Cape Town’s beaches are probably the most well known with their white sand and freezing water on the one side (Atlantic) and the warmer beaches on the other Indian Ocean side. There are many quaint (and also, large) seaside towns that are fantastic to explore. Cape Town's beaches include Camps Bay, Clifton, Hout Bay, Boulders Beach (where you share the beach with the penguins) to name a few.
Cape Town's beaches are best from late-November to the end of March as are the Garden Route beaches. These include Plettenberg Bay, Wilderness Beach, Knysna, Natures Valley, Jeffery's Bay, Cape St. Francis and all the way down to Port Elizabeth.
KwaZulu-Natal’s beaches are warm throughout the year where from here you need only drive an hour or two and you could be in the heart of a game reserve.
Durban is the main city in Kwa-Zulu Natal and it is renowned for its Golden Mile - a 6km stretch of popular beaches.
