Description

The upmarket suburb of Llandudno enjoys dazzling views of one of Cape Town's most beautiful beaches. Fringed by giant granite boulders, a few shipwrecks and surrounded by a mountainous amphitheatre, it’s an epic place for picnics, sundowners and some serious chilling in the sunshine.

Llandudno has some excellent surfing – mostly right-hand beach breaks that work best with a southeasterly wind. Swimming is challenge in these icy waters where conditions can get extremely rough. Just around the corner is another gorgeous surf spot, Sandy Bay, known as Cape Town's unofficial nudist and gay beach.

Parking can be problematic over weekends and during the summer holiday season. Be prepared for a long walk to the beach and take plenty to eat and drink – there are no shops at all.

Llandudno was a wonderful surprise - so beautiful, friendly and well kept. It is an outstanding spot to relax, walk, near to the city as well as the USA consul were we had an appointment. We cannot wait to get back! MP and Heléne de Jager, Bloemfontein

We were fortunate to stay at 26 Sunset Avenue from 14 - 21 March 2012. This was a truly amazing experience. The staff, accommodation and food was absolutely outstanding and I cannot fault anything during our stay. I cannot wait to go back! Regards, Nico Rowan Managing Director - Manhattan Hotel

The luxury mansions of this exclusive suburb enjoy jaw-dropping views of the stunning cove. Whales come in close and their songs can be heard from the houses along Sunset Avenue. The beach is one of Cape Town’s finest and great for sundowners; a wide sandy bay bordered by enormous granite boulders.

Surfers from around the world visit Llandudno for its awesome surf and sandy beach. A beautiful spot surrounded by mountains that tower over the bay. Luxurious seaside apartments are available that are within walking distance of the beach. If you are one of the brave ones, you can even walk around the corner to the nude beach of Sandy Bay. Close to areas such as Hout Bay, Camps Bay and Clifton.

Llandudno is a beautiful suburb built above a beach. It is an eye-popping setting below the Twelve Apostles section of Table Mountain, and it's easy to see why this is one of Cape Town's most sought after and pricy places to live. The beach is a great place to spend a summers day, and very popular for surfing. The beach is frequented by everyone from families to surfers to locals and gets busy over high season. More laid back than Clifton or Camps bay beaches.
