Oudekraal Beach

Beaches in Table Mountain National Park

Lying between Bakoven and Llandudno is Oudekraal, best known by scuba divers who come here to explore Justin’s Caves. The dive site is actually a group of huge boulders covered in magnificent sponges, soft corals, sea fans and ascidians. Not far off is the 1698 wreck of the Huis te Crayenstein, tempting divers with the prospect of salvaging treasure. Part of the Table Mountain National Park, Oudekraal Beach offers a very different experience to the glamorous beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton. The tiny beach is hidden in a cove and offers braai facilities and a grassy picnic area. Huge granite boulders shelter the beach and provide a safe swimming area.
