"I prefer Clifton 1 & 2 because they offer a great spot to swim and they are often quieter than the other beaches.
Clifton 3rd is known as the ‘gay’ beach. You are sure to find some muscular, tanned guys in speedos here.
Clifton 4th is the most famous beach. It is the safest place to swim, as there are lifeguards. However being the famous beach, means that it is often quite busy, especially during the December festive season.
Keep in mind that there are ALOT of stairs to get down to the beaches and back up to the road.
There are various stairways to enter the beaches, however all of the beaches are connected and it is easy to walk between them.
Grab a Granadilla Lolly while you are at the beach!
THURSDAYS IN SUMMER!
Friends Who Volley offer pop up volleyball tournaments in summer. See their Instagram for more :)"
