Cape Town has world's second best beaches
-
The African capital of cool sprawls on a peninsula that divides the icy Atlantic from
the warmer Indian Ocean, putting some 20 beaches within striking distance. The Clifton
beaches, known for the posh homes that overlook them and stellar sunset-viewing, are
sheltered from the region's strong
trade winds by a mountainous ridge. Further north,
the breeze is unleashed at surfing sweet spots Milnerton and Blouberg. Families favor
the eastern False Bay coast for warmer water and tot-friendly tidal pools.
