Shark Bay beach
10 Dario Vario

This beach is an ideal location for kiteboarding with ample room and shallow waters suitable for all. The sandy beaches and seafloor provide a comfortable setting, and the wind direction is consistently favorable (when wind is present). Additionally, there are showers, toilets, a decent cafe serving good coffee, and free parking without any individuals attempting to solicit money.

This beach is a haven for kite surfers and families with little ones. Along the beach, there are a handful of restaurants (check out other reviews), as well as charming souvenir, surf, and coffee shops. It's an ideal spot for leisurely walks in the afternoon, but don't forget to bring a jacket to keep warm.

Yzerfontein beach
8 Ryan K.

This beach is an idyllic destination for families seeking a serene and relaxing atmosphere. It's perfect for leisurely strolls or simply admiring the diverse bird species that inhabit the area. We were fortunate enough to witness a group of playful dolphins frolicking in the ocean right before our eyes. Additionally, the beach boasts a lush layer of vegetation that serves as a natural barrier against erosion and provides a haven for an array of avian life.
