Strand & Gordons Bay

The breathtaking town of Strand is located near False Bay, and nestled next to the Hottentots Holland Mountains.

This beautiful resort town offers visitors tranquility and natural wonder, but above all, five kilometers of beach that has clean soft sand and crystal clear waters. Its main beach is Melkbaai Beach, and serves as much as a venue to soak up the sun, as it is an attraction.

Hundreds of surfers visit Strand, to take advantage of the perfect breaks and safe waters. As one of the safest beaches in South Africa, Melkbaai Beach is popular with families that come to the beach to enjoy a day of sun and surf. Nearby attractions such as a massive tidal pool, super tube and mini-golf ensures that there is a lot to see and do while at Melkbaai Beach.

The warm water also lures holiday makers to swim and play in the peaceful tide. For a unique and unforgettable day at the beach, get down to Melkbaai Beach. Strand is 20 minutes from Cape Town International airport and 45 minutes from the CBD. Visitors can enjoy whale watching in Gordonsbay and Hermanus, which is literally a drive up the road.
