This is the nearest spot to Cape Town, a short 10 minute drive from the city centre. There is a good sized beach here with a nice shallow area for the first 50 metres, good for the un-experienced. The rising tide here tends to be smaller than at the more Northerly destinations so it's good for Beg / Int as well as those wanting to try some easy wave sailing.

Sunset Beach is one of the main windsurf destinations with a good rising tide building with the wind in the late afternoon. There are no general facilities for the non-windsurfer here unless you are living at our Sunset Beach hotels which is right on the spot.

Another popular Kitesurf zone and a favourite teaching area with a very large open beach area. The coast here is one of the most astounding and good for non-surfers, with the facilities of the Dolphin Beach hotel and Café one site.

Langebaan is moreless one and a half hour drive from Cape Town up the coast. The wind here is often stronger than Cape Town area and offers super flat water condition which is ideal for freestyle junkies or beginners. There is a Windsurf and kitesurf school located here offering rental and instructors options. There are also many very good cafes and restaurants. This makes for an excellent day trip from Cape Town.
