Latest reviews on Umkomaas's beaches

Happy Wanderers beach
10 Lara Lawson

The beach is located within The Happy Wanderers estate, ensuring that the facilities are well-maintained and the resort is kept in excellent condition. Rudolf, the resort manager, is always available to address any concerns or problems. This place is truly exceptional, as its name suggests. Visitors consistently leave with a sense of happiness and satisfaction. It is definitely worth a visit, especially considering the competitive prices. On-site, there is a recreation room, beach volleyball, lawn chess, swimming pools, and a jungle gym to keep youngsters entertained. Additionally, there is a toddler playroom where moms can take a break. I highly recommend this beach!

St Winifred's beach
10 Landon Tarek

Wow, what a bummer! Unfortunately, due to Covid, swimming is currently off limits at this beach. However, fear not, my friends! This little slice of paradise still has plenty to offer. With vigilant life guards on duty and trusty shark nets in place, you can rest easy knowing you're in good hands. Take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, soak up some sun, and enjoy the sea breeze. Who needs to swim anyway? This beach is a perfect spot to unwind and recharge your batteries.

This beach has seen better days, as the local government seems to have neglected the upkeep of this once picturesque location. It's a shame that such a beautiful spot is not receiving the attention it deserves. Hopefully, the municipality will recognize the importance of maintaining and improving this beach for the community to enjoy.
