While other beaches are filled to the brim with thrills and waves for surfers and extreme sports seekers, this one here is a little different. It goes gentle for children and rookie surfers alike. The reason? Well, Muizenberg has a natural wave breaking mechanism made of tough rocks. The rocks have always stood the test of time and continue to do so with ease as if they command the wrath of waves, or more likely tame them.<\/p>\n<p>This natural barrier controls the violent waves and breaks them into calmer ones. Families enjoy their time walking on the white sand, looking at the gentle waves that welcome all. It is one of those South African beaches that is considered to be the best place for new surfers. The natural wave breakers allow for good training, and when mastered, people can enjoy the thrills once they venture beyond the enormous rocks. Nature is vibrant and beautiful, indeed, and it is best explained by places like this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> South Africa<br \/><strong>Specialty:<\/strong> Giant rocks and calm waters<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/johannesburg-nightlife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johannesburg Nightlife: 10 Spots To Enjoy The Groovy South African Nightlife<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>6.

Although it is made of a cluster of beaches, namely four, the visitors always take good memories with them when going home. Now here\u2019s the catch, this cluster comprises four beaches, and the best part is, their names are relatively simple to remember. The first beach is called 1st, the second one\u2019s named 2nd, and the same can be said for the third and the fourth, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The family of beaches is best known for its sunsets, one major reason that makes it even more soothing is the absence of strong winds. Since beaches are, for the most part, equipped with decent to strong winds, it can be a little violent for those who long for a calm and serene environment. One can enjoy the ambiance by merely sitting and looking around the beaches, the birds, trees, sand, the sea, all constitute for a great time that if spent the right way, can do wonders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> South Africa<br \/><strong>Specialty:<\/strong> the group of islands flanking the beach paint a beautiful picture for eyes<\/p>\n<h3>7.

One can see them talking to their kin in their own ways, which is both entertaining and educational. If one really wishes to get closer to African Penguins, the Boulders beach in South Africa is perhaps the best place one should look for.<\/p>\n<p>And the Penguins do not mind sharing their land with Humans as well, they do check for food though.
