The Longest Beach at Struisbaai

Struisbaai is a coastal town in the Cape Agulhas district, the southernmost point of the continent of Africa. The beach at Struisbaai is 14 km (almost 9 miles) long, making it the longest beach in the Southern Hemisphere. Since 1673, at least 30 vessels have run aground in the waters off of Struisbaai, indicating how treacherous these waters are for shipping. We visited there in December 2017, but this is my first time sharing these photos.

We found these 3 rocks at the beach,
each one totally different from the other.

I don't see many people swimming, it looks kind of cold and from the shipwreck history maybe a little too rough to swim. Good thing it's so gorgeous, cool fun fact about being the longest beach, Tina.

You’re right! The waters along the southern to western coast are very cold, but along the southern to eastern coast are much warmer with the Indian Ocean.

It may be cold but maybe thats why it's so so beautifully unspoiled. What a treat to see this beautiful beach. Thanks for sharing! xx Maria https://www.passionfruitpawsandpeonies.com

Thanks! I love your SC, USA post with all the beautiful photos! I think that bird in the tree is a guineafowl and native to SA. I’m now following you on Twitter.
