So beautiful and remote I love it! A special little beach you got to try!

Very peaceful spot. Please note that the staircase leading to and from this little peace of heaven is a little daunting and steep. Be careful when carrying your beach goodies on up and down trips. Take lots of sunscreen or if youre tanning.. this is quite perfect. We use to visit here every December. Great for family outings especially for parents with kids who love swimming. You can keep a close eye on them, because of the shallow water. Bonus, is that the rocks form a sort of enclosed space..so kiddies can stay quite close by.Some coral reef on the sea floor..so be extra careful not to slip.Regular police patrols, keeps it relatively safe, Although, IT IS always more safe, to have a travel companion ANYWHERE in ANY AREA that youre planning on getting out of your car.Lovely spot. Add this to your must visit summer spots.

My favorite beach in Cape Town. Come here every weekend to dive and it’s just incredible. So sheltered and safe and quiet. And the rocks further out offer an amazing place to dive with the seals.

Lovely beach but there is broken glass *everywhere.* otherwise very scenic! It’s protected from the waves and the rocks are fun to climb on.

I loved this place so much, Im scared to review it because I dont want it to become too popular. (lol kidding, not kidding) its a quiet, lesser known beach. The beach can only be accessed by using the stairs which leads from the parking to the sand and lots of boulders. Worth the trip. Be careful if its windy!

Your own little piece of heaven. It was low tide today but still enough water to cool you off after a very hot day.

The perfect dive spot with beautiful kelp forests to explore. There is a lovely secluded beach thats not that well known so you could be lucky and have the beach to yourself

Lovely beach, but some beach goers consume alcohol. Not on!

Pretty small beach area when it is high tide but great for a dip or snorkeling. When its low tide, even more so. Definitely worth a venture

Cosy Bay is such an incredible little secluded spot. Its just such a shame that there is always SO much litter and broken glass all over the place. The morning we went there, there were two big groups of teenagers, who arrived with alcohol and narcotics (at 9am on a Sunday!), with blaring music. That ruined it. But the beach itself is gorgeous.

Absolutely loved the view. Tiny beach, not crowded at all. Most people just take in the views from the top. Very few people go down to the beach. Cool spot to read a book. There are a few benches but no restrooms as it is basically just a pit stop.

Cosy Beach also known as Sandy Cove is a popular open water dive site. Many local divers probably dived there as part of their training. It is relatively protected even when the South Easter wind blows. During low tide the minute sandy beach is a beautiful picnic spot, but for safety reasons rather visit it as part of a group.

I come here every year on my birthday , its amaizing , a place to hide out, no water threats.. And the rocks look as if God placed them down one by one.. If you look closer , the rocks forms shapes of sea creatures .. Look closely . Most amazing beach in cpt apart from clifton4th

We wanted to take photos of sunset but realize there are too many rocks to actually see anything. The beach is really small and the sand was really coarse with a lot of glasses.

Review №29

This beach has potential, however too many of its users feel it is okay to smash bottles against the rocks thus leaving broken glass in the tidal pool which is a hazard of note

Very beautiful place for an outing. There is no natural shelter so bring an umbrella or gazebo. The sand is very coarse so organise some protection for your feet - trust me, you will appreciate this suggestion.

Lovely private beach , want to set out and scuba there. Only two issues no toilets or changing rooms on the beach so people do there bussiness in the bushes and the beach is dirty. People litter is in the bushes ect. When I go again I am taking a black bag to pick up some rubbish . Beach as beautiful as this on should not be neglected.
