The beaches of Clifton are interlinked, with giant granite boulders dividing one from the next. Each individual sandy beach is unique. 4th Beach is the most popular, with visitors playing volleyball, throwing frisbees and sunbathing – but mostly trying to look cool. 3rd Beach is frequented by the gay population of Cape Town, while 2nd Beach is the sunning spot of the young bohemians and university students of the city. 1st Beach is less popular (but no less beautiful) than the other three.
Clifton is sheltered from summer’s south-easterly wind. Super Yachts, speed boats and jet skis come and play in the bay.
