Great beaches for walking and sunbathing, a picnic, but it's not very good for swimming, but if you're the type who likes to glacial retreat. Cold water, even in the height of summer. It is a present that comes directly from Antarctica, and rarely gets warmer than 15 degrees shores of False Bay has a lot of warm water, and even be more attractive for swimmers. However, because of this, if some beaches have been rapid. Wind that comes off the water all around the coast can be a problem, as it whips up fine sand. In the summer and the beaches of False Bay winds swept them unpredictable and often vicious.

Young and beautiful
