Mnandi Beach

About Mnandi Beach

About 45 minutes away from the City Bowl of Cape Town is the scenic Mnandi Beach, located in Mitchell's Plain. This is more of a day resort than your average beach and was awarded the status of a Blue Flag Beach 2004. It combines safe swimming conditions with plenty of convenient amenities and more than 220 parking bays to offer visitors and locals a spot that is just awesome for families and watersports' enthusiasts.

Mnandi is caressed by the chilly Atlantic Ocean waters, which are not only great for a swim or a frolic in the waves, but also for surfing, kite-surfing, stand-up paddling, and even fishing. There is also a big swimming pool that has fun waterslides, where children will spend hours squealing in delight. This pool has playground equipment on landscaped lawns, picnic spots, barbecue spots, and kiosks, where snacks and refreshments can be bought.

Lifeguards are on duty all summer and there are toilets on site for the convenience of swimmers and beach-goers. Animals are also allowed, to ensure that the whole family is in on the fun. The views of the limestone cliffs at the Wolfgat Nature Reserve's make for an even more idyllic backdrop to your beach day.

Mnandi Beach is close to the city centre of Cape Town along with many of the major tourist attractions here. These include the Bo-Kaap, Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, Two Oceans Aquarium, and the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens.
