Time Out in Kommetjie

posted to: Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives, Western Cape
Kommetjie

Kommetjie

Separated from neigh­bour­ing towns by moun­tains and cliffs, the coastal town of Kommetjie offers its vis­it­ors a sense of undis­turbed nat­ural beauty and peace­ful isol­a­tion. Situated between rural Noordhoek and the sea­side town of Scarborough, the wil­der­ness and foliage of the moun­tains pre­served, and the stark con­trast of the ocean, Kommetjie is a secret haven of rus­tic beauty.

Crowding the waves on a good day, surfers from all over the world come to Kommetjie, which is regarded as hav­ing the best surf in the south pen­in­sula. The ocean is also a play­ground for snorkel­ing, cray­fish diving, scuba diving and fish­ing, with a reef provid­ing a rich bounty of sea life (see Things to Do in Kommetjie). Continued

Long Beach in Noordhoek

posted to: Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives, Western Cape
Long Beach

Long Beach

There is a beach that will always take my breath away, no mat­ter how many times I’ve seen it. Long Beach, in Noordhoek, loc­ated on the Southern Peninsula of Cape Town, en route to Cape Point, is named as such for its great expanse and stretch, right through to Kommetjie. The beach is not only long, but is wide, giv­ing way to wet­lands, flora and fauna. Family, dog and horse friendly, it is always a hive of activ­ity, for loc­als and tour­ists, horseriders, surfers, run­ners and tod­dlers, each enjoy­ing their little piece of para­dise out on the per­fect white sands of this magini­fi­cent beach.

Riding on Noordhoek beach is some­thing that every­one should do in their life­time, many times over! Whether it be in the fresh morn­ing mist, or for an even­ing sun­set canter through the waves, it is an exper­i­ence of nature and beast that is unri­valled. All ages and degees of exper­i­ence are catered for with trained guides lead­ing the rides on exper­i­enced horses. Rural Noordhoek is prime horse coun­try, with many farms and small hold­ings dot­ted around the val­ley, hous­ing stud farms, racing stables, show jump­ing yards and eventers. Race horses in train­ing from Dune Stables can always be spot­ted on the beach in the morn­ings, going through their school­ing routines, before gal­lop­ing off down the seem­ingly end­less expanse of land until they dis­ap­pear from view.
