Nice beaches! Looking

Nice beaches! Looking forward to have a good weekend there! mattresses

It is an excellent

It is an excellent collection of World's sexiest beaches. All the beaches posted here are best places for fun and frolic. If am to vote for any beach, I would prefer Eleuthera, Bahamas for it has been described as an ink blot where God shook his pen before creating the rest of the world. Thanks for the post.bowflex treadclimber tc5000

The pictures of the beach

The pictures of the beach speak for it. They are feast to an ever satiating eye. Holidaying here is to holiday in heaven. Thanks for the beautiful post.gas grill sale

Clifton

Clifton is over rated, it is a beach for wanna be's. You might as well tan in your back yard cause the water is way too cold. Clifton is for all the so called models and all "sexy and yuppie" people. Fishhoek is is much nicer beach and the water is devine.

Beaches around the world

It depends what YOU want cause its seems its all about YOU. Are you young, do you swim or just sun tan or girlwatch, thats probably why the itilians love cape for the most beautiful girls in the world.
Most holiday makers go on holiday to the beach swim, litter, drink and drink and the rest then head off home. That when the beaches are beautiful when they gone home. I lived in Ballito and have retired to NZ only to safegard my bit of dough I have and thats my say. Come see NZ
w11nz&yahoo.co.nz you will be pleasantly suprised.
Everybody here lives in harmony black and coloured from SA and white and indian and boer. I work at a prison and we SA guys work together here because we sick of just what you read in all these articles.
enjoy ur stupid squabbles forever.

Blog comments

Isn't it amazing, we have a blog here to discuss beaches and some idiotic misfit throws racism into the brew.
Is there no subject at all that can be spoken about without someone starting a racism angle?
So much for reconciliation and tolerance! This is what makes S.A. suck!

Beaches

The sexiest and best beaches I have experienced by far are those in Croatia. They are spotlessly clean.

So agree (@alia)

Totally agree with Alia that 'Baised Ratings' reeks of disguised disgruntled twonk! Don't buy it for a mo.

Clifton's awesome. Bikini Beach and Camps bay are fantastic and I love beaches in the bahamas too. Still think SA beaches are the most beautiful in the world.

Clifton Beach

I love Clifton beach but what really annoys me is the millions of sigarette buts burried in the sand. Surely some people think smoking is the sexiest thing they can spend their time (and money) on but it is really irritating to go to a so called "blue flag" beach only to find the rubbish that the smokers leave behind. In general I believe that smokers are not concerned about the environment at all. Time to tidy up SMOKERS!!

@baised ratings

What a ridiculous post, and I am willing to bet that whoever wrote it is a racist white person.

"We as blacks are acustomed to being in a crowded vicinity from our background, the family of ten in a four bedroomed house... Why don't you leave us alone a nd take your Cape town with??!!!"? Sounds rather like undereducated racist white rhetoric very very poorly disguised to me. Some deliberate obvious spelling errors thrown in for good measure? including in your name itself. Because you need to show that after all 'them blacks is uneducated, undeserving and bitter'.

Why exactly do NONE of my black friends ever spew drivel like this? Why are they all, in fact, generous, erudite, intelligent, considerate and kind instead? Don't try perpetuate negative garbage. My black friends, be they from CT, Jozi or Durbs NEVER do, and so I find this cliched vitreol very fishy indeed. I'm willing to bet that '@biased ratings' is a disgruntled white ex-pat living in the UK or Canada or something.

Aside from that, and on to the beach topic, I'd say Kommetjie, Clifton, Kenton Main, Mazzepa and Boulders are some high contenders. Abroad, I like a some in Mauritius, Mozambique and the Seychelles, and Australia, Sicily, Thailand also has some beautiful beaches.

@Anonymous

Dude, seriously, you pulled that hate from nowhere man. That was based on nothing thats been said in this forum. There have been mixed opinions about beaches everywhere and not just from Cape Town.

You're probably right when you say the ratings have been contributed by mostly mhlungus (looking at the forum, and no insult to everyone else), but no-one said "non-mhlungus" couldn't contribute to the ratings! Hopefully we'll have a more representative poll next time if people are willing to participate.

Relax and enjoy the view!!!

Baised Ratings

I will not be surprised if most of the comments here are from the white race hence Cape Town beacheas are rated highly. Who is in Cape Town anyway? The ratings are so subjective and based on whites way of seeing things. Durban is liked by blacks and all whites are running away from blacks and crowd themselves in a too whit city Cape Town. We as blacks are acustomed to being in a crowded vicinity from our background, the family of ten in a four bedroomed house, a situation created by the very same whites who view us a backward. Why don't you leave us alone a nd take your Cape town with??!!!

Sexy beach?

What makes a beach sexy? Humans can be sexy. Beaches are beautiful - not sexy.

Beautiful Beachs

Brenton on Sea - Knysna is totally STUNNING!!!!!

friendship

plese chatt me bilalmuhammad25@yahoo.com

Which SA beach do you consider to be the best?

What about : Victoria Bay, Wilderness Beaches, Swartvlei, Buffalo Bay etcand all the absolutely fantastic beaches along the Garden route. A lot of these beaches are quiet and uncrowded, and the nature unspoilt.

Byron Beach

Byron Bay is categorically not part of the Gold Coast, which is a city in southern Queensland. Byron Bay is about an hour south in northern New South Wales.

Beaches

The most beautiful beaches I have ever seen are definitely in South Africa. European beaches are unimaginably crowded in Summer, which is more or less the only time one can swim in them anyway. The Water on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard is cold, but the water in False bay is similar in temperature to San Trope, and in fact most of the Northern Mediterranean. Both places only allow reasonable swimming (18C or above) for 4 months of the year anyhow.

For those complaining about the crowded beaches in SA, you have no idea. A good European beach is like the 26th of December most days in a Summer! Coming here was like a total breath of fresh air.

I would chose the following (some based only on looks, some for swimming, atmosphere etc); Bikini Beach [ZA], Clifton [ZA], Fish Hoek beach [ZA], Kommetjie [ZA], Mondelo [IT], Pfeiffer Beach [USA], many beaches on the wild coast [ZA] many beaches in Mozambique, and many beaches in the Seychelles as well.

Dream Beach

Cape Town beaches are right up there with the world's sexiest and most exotic. I must say though, Dream Beach off Bali truly lives up to it's name. Totally serene, isolated and surreal.

Overcrowding is no joke

As far as sexy beaches go, you might as well ommit Cape Town beaches over the festive season. Clifton is known for being a pain from the onset of your visit: bumper to bumper traffic, zero parking and overcrowded beaches that gets messy at times. For those who fancy a swim - good luck with the cold water if you are not used to it (and have been fermenting for hours in the blazing sun) Also, the status as a topless beach is dwindling - thanks to the perverts with their long zoom lenses. As a true Cape Townian, I steer clear of Clifton and Camps Bay over December - any other time it is a dream, though. I suggest visitors to stick to the hotel swimming pools over this time.

Some good beaches

Some good local beaches:
- San Lameer beach - KZN
- Second Beach (Port St Johns) this was good years ago - today, not sure.
- J-Bay main beach
- St Francis Bay beaches

Some good overseas beaches:
- Waikiki beach - Hawaii
- Los Alcazarez beach - Spain
- Ponto d'Ouro beach - Mozambique
- Mykonos beaches - Greece (and all the other Greek islands)

and I'm going to Phuket (Thailand) in March which I'm sure has good beaches.

Happy Sunblocking!

SA beaches don't stack up

I've been blessed enough to have experienced some awesome beaches in Thailand, Mauritius, Moz and Oz to name some but Ipanema in Rio is really special because of the vibe and the people. Anyone ever been to Piran in Slovenia? World's best kept secret, what a place.

Black Beaches

Best beaches in the world is the Durban beaches on Xmas day and Boxing day - hahahahaha

Some missing

Dont see Sandybay on the list. It should be there

MEDJUMBE

Crowded beaches are a big "no-no". Medjumbe Island in northern Mozambique is awesome! A tiny island less than 1km long! That's what I call sexy....and romantic!

beaches

none compares to the Seychelles - sand as white and soft as powder, water that is warm and little fish pecking at your legs - that is very rare, And you guaranteed to have a little stretch of beach all to yourself !!

Best Best Best

Clearly these scary cats don't want to indulge in the refreshing atlantic waters at Clifton, no wonder they all go to the Durban beaches. Look at the votes guys, Cape Town beaches are by far the best. Being a world traveler and have been on many of the world's best, Clifton is always a welcome come back...For the one thinking Karoo is an option, you go right ahead buddy...And for the one thinking that clifton is pritty but not sexy and you can only look at Cape Town; you clearly have no intention of getting under the skin of this city your loss.
Clifton is super sexy, it has some of the world's most beautiful and sexiest people alive every summer...So for the ones that are missing that, your loss.....

Clifton is pretty but not

Clifton is pretty but not sexy. It is like most of the Cape Town, you can took at it but not realy use it.

SA BEACHES

What's the use of a beach if the waters too cold to swim.
Might as well lie on the sand in the Karoo and soak up the sunshine.
Atlantic beaches suck.

Nada

No way Cape Town Beaches are the best. The water is ice cold. KZN any time

Thailand is the best

The best beaches in the world you will find in Thailand!

Depends What You're Looking For

A crowded beach is dreadful. For quieter beaches, where you actaully have room to move and can appreciate the beauty then the following top my list:
Definitely Noordhoek or Kommetjie beach for that real atlantic ocean, 'at one with nature' vibe, and for beatiful warm sea's, then Cape Vidal or Mapelane in KZN.

Cape beaches???!!!huh

if cape beaches are 'hott' then you have not travelled!!..
as a joburger, durbs beaches are by far the best in this country..

Any beach is useless if the

Any beach is useless if the sea is too cold to swim in. Cape Town's Atlantic beaches are all cursed with freezing cold water. Boulders, Seaforth, Fish Hoek and Muizenberg are the only swimmable ones. Strandfontein and Mnandi are way too dangerous as muggers and thieves are constantly lying in wait.

Best Beaches

I like the Cape Town Beaches- Llandudno , Sandy bay etc,.I am yet to find a good KZN beach. The best beaches for me is ihowever n the Eastern Cape; Sardinia Bay, Van stadens Beach, Port Alfred and some of the wild coast beaches.

some exquisite beaches have

some exquisite beaches have been left off this list, but i did want to say that i disagree that we have dirty or ugly beaches. We have some of the most amazing beach experiences in the world. I've spent time on beaches in Spain, on the east coast around valencia and on the South Coast around Malaga and Gibraltar. beautiful beaches, but can also be very dirty. But the beach in Barcelona is possibly the most disgusting beach i have ever been to in my life. It is absolutely covered in plastic and stompies and glass, and beacasue drinking in public is legal everyone is pissed and raucous (and not in a good way).

I forgot some!

I need to add also Llandudno (South Africa), Spiagge Grande (Amalfi), Anse Cocos and La Digue (Seychelles), Camargue and St Tropez (France), Five Mile Beach (South Africa) and the Boulders Beach (South Africa)

Kelly's Beach

BTW, Kelly's beach is at Port Alfred and not Port St Johns!

Clifton

The time that Clifton becomes really sexy is when the beautiful boats are ancored there. This can't happen at any other SA beaches.

Most beautiful beaches

I'm Italian, so this has a bias. But I think that still South Africa has the most beautiful of all. Around the whole world some I think or are (in an alphabetical order):

Bikini Beach (Clarens Drive, South Africa)
Bloubergstrand (Cape Town, South Africa)
Bondi Beach (Australia)
Camps Bay (Cape Town, South Africa)
Capri (Italy)
Cathedral Cove (New Zealand)
Clifton (Cape Town, South Africa)
Copocabana (Rio)
Egremni (Greece - Lefkada)
Gold Rock Beach (Bahamas)
Guludo Beach (Mozambique)
Ipanema (Rio)
Kenton on Sea (Cape Town, South Africa)
Kometjie Beach (Cape Town, South Africa)
Maremma Beach (Tuscany, Tuscany)
Margaret River (Australia)
Maya Bay (Thailand)
Noordhoek Beach (Cape Town, South Africa)
Pangkor Beaches (Malaysia)
Pfeiffer Beach (Big Sur, California)
San Vito lo Capo, Scopello and Mondelo (all in Sicily)
Wild Coast (numerous beaches like Mazeppa, South Africa)

I do not understand when people say the beaches here arenot safe? I have never had any problem and have been here years. I truly think the beaches here are the most beautiful I have ever seen around the world.

camps bay - overated - what a waste

we drove all the way from joburg to see what all the fuss was about. The water was icy cold (i had brain freeze) even though it was boiling hot and it is over crowded. So we spent 5 minutes under the showers and when back to the hotel to swim.

I think Plettenberg bay and St Francis are far superior.

Clifton?? Campsbay?? YOu must be joking

Over rated...theres no way Clifton or Camps bay is rated tops...based on the beaches you find in False bay or in other places in South Africa...Clifton can never ever compare...

Beaches

Have been to beaches around Malaysian Islands and it put's the beaches here in SA to Shame. I think we have the most filthy beaches in the World,too dangerous even to put your foot in them. What a SHAME!

Best SA beach

Kasouga beach Eastern Cape - between Port Alfred and Kenton on Sea.

Best Beach

Pls remove Camps Bay and Clifton from the list...most over-rated and filthy beaches to say the least.

SA Beaches Suck

Ain't seen beaches until u been to Thailand...or better not go we dont want SA losers crowding the place!!!!

Beaches

SA's beaches are dumps compared to rest of the world...Clifton is for m0ff!es and old haggard punks in cabrios looking for whores.

Best Beaches

My top three in S.A.: 1. Gordon's Bay (not on the list); 2. Noetzie (safe and secluded); 3. Melkbaai (Somerset) (not on the list).

photos
