4. Clifton Beach, Cape Town
Clifton Beaches seem to transport you to another world entirely – opalescent sand, refreshingly cool waters, beautiful bodies in designer bikinis, and perfect weather due to its sheltered location in the African city of Cape Town. An outcrop of granite rock provides a rich contrast to the tropical landscape where locals gather alongside movie stars and other notable visitors to sunbathe, socialize, play beach volleyball, and toss around Frisbee’s. The exotic vibe of Clifton Beach makes it one of the most sought-after venues in South Africa.
