Sandy Bay

A walk along the coast from the cap park brings you to Cape Towns nudest beach in South Africa, Sandy Bay. Known for natural beauty and naturalism. Protected from the wind and enclosed with sand dunes it makes for a good place to escape the crowds, and no you don't have to be naked to enjoy it, its just an option. The beach is generally known to be gay friendly. A word of warning, wander off into the bushes can be dangerous.

Facilities:

* To gain access to the beach you have to walk for about 20min from the carp park, the beach can also be reached from the Hout Bay dunes.
* No shops or bathroom facilities are available but not well maintained
* No Lifeguards

Beach activities:

* Surfing at Sandy Bay (✪✪✪):This nudist colony has a short wave that handles the southeaster well. A good option when Llundudno is closing out.
* Sunbathing at Sandy Bay (✪✪✪✪✪):Considering it is the only place that you can sunbath in the nude, Sandy Bay gets an extra star ;)
* Swimming at Sandy Bay (✪✪✪):Swimming at sandy bay is best done without a bathing costume, however the water is cold and going in too deep might land you into trouble.
