Scarborough beach

Scarborough is the southernmost settlement on the Atlantic coast of Cape Town, South Africa. The waves are strong, so you can only make surfing and kitesurfing. However, even when the water is calm, it is better not to swim, as sharks and strong currents may always be a serious danger. It is permitted to walk with unleashed dogs, that is what the most visitors do. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
