The playground for wealthy locals, Clifton Beaches include a series of sand strips divided by large granite rocks. Overlooked by Lion's Head Hill, the beaches offer a chance to cool off in the cool water, surf, or participate in a game of beach volleyball. Popular with surfers and families alike, the cliff-fringed sandy shore offers scenic views of the ocean and protection from the infamous winds that prevail in the area.

  Boom! I had a rich experience at the Clifton Beach in Cape Town. Why should you visit this town and not got to Clifton Beach? It has a good view in the day and in the evening. It is a place to relax and chill with friends. Bring your ball along for volleyball or just sit with a book in your hands to read. It is a place to watch out for to just sip in a good amount of sunshine. Do have a great time visiting.
