Muizenberg Beach
Muizenberg Beach
Muizenberg Beach is situated on the False Bay side of the Cape Peninsula, 30 – 40 minutes drive from Cape Town City Centre.
Muizenburg is famous for its rows brightly coloured Victorian beach changing huts, and although Muizenburg has not been the most fashionable place to be in the past (since Victorian times and compared to nearby Kalk Bay or St James) it has become more popular in recent times for being one of the best surfing and body-boarding spots on the Cape Peninsula thanks to consistent waves. Muizenburg is also a suitable beach to learn to surf as the waves are known for their consistency rather than their size.
The sleepy town of Muizenburg is still lined with the mansions of its Victorian glory days past and the beach has good facilities, a visitor centre, shops, restaurants and adventure and surf activity operators. It’s also a great beach for children, with warmer water that can reach a balmy 22 deg in summer and generally calm waters. The long beach is also well patrolled by lifeguards.
