Glencairn Beach

"If you happen to be near Simon’s Town and looking for a “one-beach-fits-all” but with a tranquil vibe, then Glencarin is it. Surfers or bodyboarders head the head to the northern side to catch some great waves; there are sharks in these waters but there are lifeguards and sharkspotters on duty at all times. For a safer swimming option there is a tidal pool on the southern side and a variety of rock pools, which are ideal for exploring and observing marine life. Beachgoers can take a walk along the historic but newly renovated catwalk to take in the panoramic views of False Bay - sunset is a must! ● Parking: Plenty as a large area lining the beach is available ● Toilets: Yes ●Other notes: - Tidal Pool - Rock Pools - Long walks - Swimming (Indian side - warmer) - Surfing - Kite/Wind-surfing - Kayaking - Beach games (volleyball, frisbee, football etc.) - Dogs allowed - Picnics Extra Activities: ▶ Simon's Town Naval Museum ▶ Wetland around the Else River mouth ▶ Small reef bank on the northern end of the beach"
