Sandy Bay beach

Sandy Bay is a nudist beach being the only one in Cape Town, South Africa. There are always strong waves on the main beach, so it is hard to swim. However, in the north of the bay there are a lot of huge stones, thus protecting swimmers from waves. There are beautiful mountains around, but ocean water is always cold. So this is more a place for relaxation. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
