The peaks of colorful beach huts pop up from the edge of the magnificent sand of Muizenberg beach. Located on the southern coast of Cape Town, the beach is fondly referred to as “Muizies” by the locals. The well-loved summer beach town is even busy in the winter months when the water is full of surfers clad in wetsuits to protect themselves from the cold.
The warm waters of the Indian Ocean in summer make the spot particularly fun for swimming and surfing. Groups of surfers and families like to spend summers in the town, learning to surf and enjoying the convivial coastal country atmosphere. The town is bursting with bookshops, brasseries, and bars that echo the cool vibe of the surfing town. In the evenings, the waves lap peacefully at the shore, and a walk along the water’s edge reveals a spectrum of colors reflected across the waves as the sun sets.
