Clifton: where life revolves around relaxing, tanning, sunbathing and seeing and being seen
Clifton's Blue Flag beaches are amongst the trendiest beaches in Cape Town. It is a place to see and be seen, sunbathe, surf and lazily gaze at the paragliders floating in the air. The fourth beach is the most popular amongst young people and Clifton Three is Cape Town's favourite gay-friendly beach.
Clifton is all about glamour and beautiful, young people. The sandy beaches - four in total - are divided by massive boulders, protecting beach lovers from the strong south-easterly wind.

On any summer evening, throngs of people make the pilgrimage down to the beach, armed with picnic baskets and a bottle of wine. As dusk sets in, the beach is decorated with rings of candle-light.
