Noordhoek Beach is best viewed from Chapman’s Peak drive as you can see the immense size of the beach from this high vantage point. The beach is very popular with walkers, horse riders and of course surfers. Two popular surf spots are known as The Hoek and Dunes. There is a well known ship wreck on the beach, called the Kakapo. It can be found towards the left hand side of the beach as you look out to sea. In the 1900’s the ship headed straight into the beach as the skipper thought he had already rounded Cape Point. The beach has soft white sand to walk on and the views of the bay are spectacular. Because of the size of the beach you never get overcrowding that hits other beaches in summer.
Get a group of friends together and enjoy the wide open space.
