Things to do in Clifton

Beach

Beauty is the key word on the playground that is Clifton: beautiful soft white sand, beautiful bronzed bodies, beautiful smiles, a beautiful setting. Second and Third beaches are family-friendly and popular with the 20-somethings as well as the gay crowd.

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

Umbrellas and deck chairs are also available for rent. Lifeguards are on duty during peak season and on the weekends.

Sports

First Beach is where the muscled set comes to play. It is a favourite among surfers and volleyball players.

Cruise

Book a trip on a yacht or catamaran (they usually depart from the V&A Waterfront) and then watch the action when you your vessel moors in Clifton’s turquoise waters.

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.
