Noordhoek Beach is known for its vast, sandy shores, and the wreck of a steamship called Kakapo at the Southern end. It is located on Chapman Peak’s Drive in Cape Town. Since it is a windy beach, surfing, dolphin spotting, horse riding and kite flying are popular activities. The beach is bordered by the Kommetjie Lighthouse and is best visited around sunset. Car parking and toilets are available, but beach shacks are not.
