Fourth Beach is the perfect family beach and has excellent facilities including public toilets, changing rooms, and places to buy cold drinks and snacks.

You can also rent umbrellas and deck chairs right on the beach. Lifeguards are on duty during peak seasons and on the weekends.

Sports
First Beach is the prime destination for the fitness enthusiasts. This beach holds a special place in the hearts of surfers and volleyball players alike.

Cruise

Restaurants
While the suburb of Clifton really only has one restaurant, The Bungalow, which enjoys the most magnificent setting with panoramic ocean and mountain views, Camps Bay right next door has a lot to offer in the line of bars and restaurants.

The  City Bowl, V&A Waterfront, Sea Point, and De Waterkant are all within easy reach with more than enough dining and wining options.
