This beach is located conveniently near De Kelders and Gansbaai and is truly amazing.

Castle beach
10 Zuri Tendaji

This beach is far from ordinary and perfect for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing recharge. However, it's important to note that there are no barbecue facilities available, so it's solely a beach destination without any opportunities for socializing. The water can be quite chilly, and there are plenty of rocks scattered about. Despite these small drawbacks, the scenery is simply stunning and I strongly recommend visiting during sunset as it is a truly unforgettable experience. I've included some photos I took during my visit - enjoy!
