“Noordhoek Beach is best viewed from Chapmans 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 courses surfers. 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. The beach is rather isolated so be cautious when swimming. It is also advisable to walk with a group of people when you visit the beach. “
We recently went to this beach and because the wind was so strong i burnt very badly not feeling the sun. So be careful, and if the wind blows it will be very unpleasant due to the size of the beach. There is no protection and your scalp and skin will be covered in sand. Dont fall asleep on this beach as you might wake up buried beneath the sandstorm ! The water is very clear however and it is truly a magnificent beach to go see.
