One of Cape Town’s most well-known beaches is Glen Beach because it can be seen from the Camps Bay strip, which is home to a wide variety of restaurants and beach bars where you can escape the heat. The beach will be crowded with tourists and locals tanning on the sand in bikinis during peak season.
After spending some time in the sun, Glen Beach water feels pleasant, but be cautious before you go into the waves because of the possibility of sand banks. Enjoy the bustle on the beach as it happens, from the ice cream vendors selling “granadilla lollies” to the cool surfers and beach ball players who live nearby.
Glen is not a particularly huge beach, so you’ll need to arrive early to ensure your position during peak season. Nevertheless, the location is stunning, and you have stunning views in all directions, so it is well worth the effort. Trendy bars, the tiny Theatre on the Bay, as well as a good variety of stores and restaurants, are all close to the shore. Visit this beach while you can!
