Gordon’s Bay Beaches
Bikini Beach
The famous Blue Flag beach – Bikini Beach, Gordon’s Bay lies tucked against the Gordon’s Bay old harbour wall which shelters this fantastic beach from the southerly winds that often blow during the summer months.
The beach is said to have been named because of the bikinis worn by students from nearby Stellenbosch University.
Lifeguards are on duty during the Blue Flag season (December to March). There is limited parking close to the beach but a short walk away there is timed parking available at the harbour.
Gordon’s Bay Main Beach
When you are on Gordon’s Bay’s main beach you can easily imagine yourself being somewhere in the French Riviera as the beach and the water have the same calm quality. This proves to be a fantastic beach for families and small children especially during low tide.
During season Gordon’s Bay can get pretty busy, but there is ample parking at the main beach.
