Long Beach
- Address: Off M6, Noordhoek
- Category: Beaches
- Location: Atlantic Coast
Fodor's Review:
This may be the most impressive beach on the peninsula, a vast expanse of white sand stretching 6 1/2 km (4 mi) from the base of Chapman's Peak to Kommetjie. It's also one of the wildest and least populated, backed by a lagoon and private nature reserve. Because of the wind and the space, it attracts horseback riders and walkers rather than sunbathers, and the surfing is excellent. There are no lifeguards and there is no bus service, and as at some other beaches, there are real safety concerns. Despite patrollers on horseback and an all-terrain vehicle, crime is an issue here, and women in particular should be careful. You'd do well not to visit this beach unless it is well populated.
