Granite Boulders and Palm Trees at Clifton Beach

in #travel6 years ago

The most gorgeous beach in Cape Town is definitely Clifton beach. It’s just ten minutes of driving from the city of Cape Town, but it’s a small peace of heaven, quiet and beautiful!

We also visited Bloubergstrand beach, Boulder beach and Camps Bay. They’re all great beaches. Boulder beach is a four group beach where we met penguins and you could swim with them in the sea.
But Clifton beach was by far my favorite.
And I think I’ll let the pictures talk for themselves.

Granit boulders scattered across the beach. It’s pretty cool and I’ve never seen anything like this where I live in Norway.

Even though there’s a horrible drought in Cape Town, there’s still green plants and flowers everywhere.

I just love the mountains in the background. So dramatic!

The beach is popular, but not as popular as the bigger beach five minutes away, Camps Bay. This means that it’s not crowded and it’s as peaceful as a beach should be.

I’ll show you that the other beaches aren’t bad either.

Cape Poin beach

Not sure that that’s the name of the beach, but it’s where it’s located.

Thank you. They’r iPhone pictures and I’ve used some filters and edited them.

Great post @Susanne. The penguins at The Boulders are Jackass Penguins (now known as the African Penguin) - The jackass refers to the braying sound it makes. In November 2013 the African penguin was listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Also my favorite beach Cape Town..

Have you been there?

WOW, it looks beautiful! Stunning photos :)

If its from your list then its definitely boulder beach. Why? I just love 'em rocks.

If its my personal favourite beach. Then its ibeno beach in Akwa Ibom Nigeria. Why, because its the only beach I have been to.

A very enjoyable trip with incredible natural beauty, I am very fascinated with the photos you present, really fascinating, and your writing is also very interesting @susanne

Boulder beach - pernguins
i would love to be there
i would also love to go on a safari in South Africa :D

I've been to the green sand beach and it was insanely cool but it was IMPOSSIBLE to get there. Plus I didn't go too deep since it's known that people drown because the current is so strong. The way to get there was miles and miles and miles of hilly grassy area except with tunnels running through them everywhere that were big enough to fit cars. So we drove there, but there was no direction on where to go and it was very easy to get lost because the hills went on as far as you could see everywhere. We ended up following another car and both of us got stuck in huge ditches (or the paths narrowed) multiple times that were hard to get out of. We almost walked after we saw other people doing it but it definitely would have taken us all day to walk there! Still so cool and worth it though!!

Beautiful photos and beautiful place !! Enjoy the trip :) My favorite photos are certainly those of the penguins! There is nothing that can win a penguin ... they are adorable! hahaha greetings!

They were so fun to watch! Adoreable little creatures.
Thanks for reading!
