About Kersbosstrand Beach
The beach at Kersbosstrand is a beautiful escape for those in need of a long, lazy walk, fresh air, and the crisp breeze of the sea. The unspoilt stretches of white sand extend for some 40 kilometres, all the way to Elands Bay, and are lapped by the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The calm waters are excellent for swimming and boating, as well as for stand-up paddling on a SUP board and hydrofoiling. When the wind picks up, this beach is the spot of choice for kite-surfers too. Between July and December, these waters are visited by whales, which splash and blow for the entertainment of their spectators. Dolphins can be seen leaping out or surfing the waves all through the year.
So, whether you want to lie on the beach and get bronzed, walk hand-in-hand with your favourite person, go for a watersports adventure, or take some incredible holiday photos against unrivalled backdrops, Kersbosstrand Beach is a fantastic vacation destination.
This beach is along the West Coast of South Africa; an exquisite region known for its quaint fishing villages, excellent fresh seafood, magnificent wild flowers and fynbos, and the deep sense of culture and heritage that permeates the buildings and attractions. But, it is serene, not overrun by visitors. Its unique appeal resonates with locals and travellers in a very special way.
The Mother City of Cape Town and the Cape Winelands are about two hours away from this scenic beach.
