"Not too far from the City Centre and located inside Table Mountain National Park, Oudekraal is an idyllic and secluded beach. There are no shops nor restaurants, however, it is known as THE beach braai/barbeque spot so bring your own food and drinks. The unspoiled natural setting affords many snorkeling and diving opportunities should you wish to brave the cold to experience the abundance of marine life.

"Grab your boerie and braai tongs because you can braai at this beach.
Oudekraal is a lovely spot to swim, sunbathe and braai of course.
There are also many scenic walks including the shipwreck walk, where you can see the decaying Antipolis that travelled all the way from Greece, and ended up washing ashore 44 years after sinking.
Note that there is a small entry fee for Oudekraal beach.
There is also no shop so make sure you have everything you need for your braai, including dustbin bags… leave no trace.
