Smitswinkelbaai
Beach is located right next to the Cape Point Nature
Reserve. This is a small, very secluded beach which
can only be reached on foot. The bay is popular
for snorkelling and in season diving and fishing.
Apart from a few beach homes you are backed by
mountains and you overlook False Bay. The water
is usually quite calm and is suitable for swimming.
Is it worth the effort getting there? Most definitely.
Take a picnic lunch and enjoy your day on a secluded
beach. While you are in the area allow time to
visit the Cape Point Nature Reserve. There are
some wonderful walks and a few more spectacular
beaches for you to enjoy. On your way home take
a drive the along the coastal road through Scarborough
and the Misty Cliffs area to round off another
wonderful day in Cape Town.
