Visited the Muizenberg Beach for the colorful huts and loved every moment of it!!! Brightly painted beach huts: These iconic, colorful huts are a distinctive feature of the beach and a popular photo spot. Surfers' Corner: Muizenberg is considered the main surfing spot in Cape Town, especially known for its gentle, rolling waves, making it ideal for beginners. Several surf schools and surf shops are located in the area. Warmer waters: The waters at Muizenberg Beach are generally warmer than those on the Atlantic Seaboard, making it a pleasant swimming spot. Blue Flag status: The beach has been awarded Blue Flag status since 2008, signifying its high standards for safety, recreational facilities, and environmental management.

The famous colorful beach huts. The sand is soft, the water’s clean, and there are lifeguards on duty, so it feels safe. Whether you want to surf, swim, or just chill and enjoy the view, this beach has it all. Loved the laid-back atmosphere!

Our favourite beach during our visit to Cape Town. One thing was that it was a lot less crowded than the likes of Camps Bay or any of the other beaches. We also felt a lot safer, and weren't constantly being bothered by beach vendors trying to flog their wares. It is a magnificent beach. A long beach with white sand and blue water. It was spotlessly clean. Muizenberg is Surfer's Corner after all, so you can expect a lot of people in the water, surfing or swimming. We visited out of tourist season and so it was relatively empty. There are plenty of cafés, coffee shops and restaurants across the road. Parking can be a bit of an issue during busy times, and signs indicated that thieves do operate in the area targeting the vehicles. But we saw policemen patrolling the street on a regular basis. The views are simply stunning. And the Shark Spotters Information Centre is somewhere you must visit and take you kids along with you! The folks at Shark Spotters are so friendly and will gladly explain what they do to keep bathers safe and help dispel some of the myths about these fantastic creatures and the reason why white shark conservation is so important.

That is probably one of the most well known spot in South Africa with pictures being featured in many travel/airlines magazines over the late decades. Must visit. If you're an avgeek, you might be lucky to spot an aircraft approaching CPT airport, here 744 BA which I coincidently landed with at the time.

The beach ⛱️ so cool 😎 and very nice. The tide is lower so people can swim 🏊‍♂️ even more inside the sea. The colorful small houses 🏘 😍 ✨️ are amazing, but people are spoiling the wood. Needs to be taken care of and more maintains with proper management. The visitors are messing and making dirty the beach. Littering everywhere and not willing to throw the waste in the bins 😠😡. If not, take care of this beach will go worse very soon.

Spacious, beautiful beach. Quite clean, except for dog poop. Very long coastline, white sand. People are swimming all the time, although it's only mid-September. There are changing rooms, but I didn't see a toilet. There are a lot of cafes and coffee shops across the road.

Had a good time with my kids and got a refreshing feeling in the sea water. Recommend it to anyone who needs to relax from the tension of a busy life
