Muizenberg Beach, South Peninsula

The peaks of multicolored beach houses rise from the edge of Muizenberg Beach's wonderful sand. The beach is located on Cape Town's southern shore and is affectionately known as "Muizies" by the locals.

The popular summer beach resort is much busier in the winter when the ocean is packed with surfers wearing wetsuits to keep warm. Summertime swimming and surfing are especially enjoyable due to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Surfing groups and families like spending their summers in town, learning to surf, and enjoying the friendly seaside rural atmosphere.

Muizenberg Beach is teeming with bookshops, brasseries, and restaurants that reflect the surf town's stylish character. The waves lap softly at the shore in the evenings, and a walk down the water's edge displays a rainbow of colors reflected across the waters as the sunsets.
