Gordons bay is an intimate beach where the water is quite warm. The whole family tends to go quite deep into the water at Gordons Bay. Guys were playing soccer at the beach too. There are sun umbrellas that you could rent as well and restaurants surround the beach. There is also a spur on the shore of the beach. Great fun
Great weekend and holiday beach outing site. Traffic was hectic but well managed.
Small, cosy and enclosed beach. Always a pleasure to visit. Lovely eateries for a nice lunch with a seaside view.
Very nice beach for kids.With shops and restaurants in close proximity.Spur restaurant, serving burger to steaks and ribs, right in the beach(kids friendly)Negative - on busy days finding parking can be an issue, advise you go early mornings
The water was allot hotter than we expected, lots of benches to relax on, everything in good condition. Very clean beach and small waves perfect for the little ones in the family and lost of sea life on the rocks to keep them entertained. Lifeguards also around and toilet facilities available. Play, swim or just relax under the trees.
A great beach for tanning, swimming, dog walking, restaurant availability, pubs and many more. Plenty of parking but can get a little crowded during holiday season. There is so much potential and I wonder how much better it would be if every second shop wasnt an estate agent?! It seems very safe and has a police station in Beach road. I understand that this place is popular to Capetonians wanting to escape the crowds on their popular beaches.
Its my hometown and I love the place! The beach was surprisingly clean, although here and there I spotted a piece of plastic and other rubbish that washed ashore. I did my bit for the environment and picked up as much as I could to put it in the bin with the resolve of carrying a plastic bag with me next time to have a greater clean up effort. Otherwise, a family friendly, safe kiddies beach with lots of friendly local residents strolling around, enjoying the last of the warm summer days. The select choice of restaurants just across the road from the main beach of course makes this the ideal beach outing on any given day.
Clean beach, clear water with minimal waves and beautiful scenery. The water is quite shallow for a reasonable distance which allows you to go further into the water and take in the surroundings from a central view. Restaurants are at a reasonable distance. The water is a good temperature and it is a fairly safe beach. An absolutely beautiful place to be with a spectacular sunset
What a beautiful clean beach. I am not sure if this is a blue flag beach. The walkways are tidy. Dog friendly. Everyone cleans if their dogs mess. The council keeps its finger on this beach. If you are in capetown on holiday. Please come see for yourself. The restaurants are word class.
This sea shore here is calm and open...fabulous family hang out.
Easy excessable parking close to beach. Early morning and late afternoon a must visit!!!
Great intertidal action at this beach. Catch the low tide and come find sea treasures....anenomes, chitons and seastars galore. And you might find an octopus if you are lucky.Safe swimming for kiddies especially at low tide. Rocky underfoot though. Not the right beach if youre looking to surf or just enjoy the waves. Always check the wind situation first...that South Easter can hit GB hard sometimes.Dogs on leads allowed on one section of beach too.Sunsets on the beach are a special way to end the day.
Gorgeous, sunny day with virtually no wind and a virtuallycalm sea. A few people on the beach
Its was a lovely day at the beach. A bit windy but water was great. The beach wasnt that full.You have 2 pop in at my favourite store called Aladdins Cave opposite the main section of the beach. All the odds and ends , gadgets and pretty ornaments. There is also a book shop next to it. You cant miss it as there is a car parked on top of the shop😱After that u can pop in at the icecream shop.I hope u find this info useful.
Ever noticed how splendid your day becomes if you live it behind a smile thankyou Gordons Bay what a lovely day me i will keep on smiling 🤣🤣
A beautiful beach on a beautiful sunny day with an ice cream from the local ice cream parlour. Priceless
Its the most tranquil and serene peaceful place to just chill in the warm winter sun and walk a mile on the vast sandy beach ...namastè
The most breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains with the most scenic drives on a sunday or any day beautiful beach so relaxing calm tranquil ❤🤩👍💯
So much plastic floating in the water and on the shore , but the water temperature is nice .
The beach is best experienced during low tide. Lots of interesting restaurants and shops in close proximity. Can get quite busy during the holiday seasons, and parking is always an issue during those days.Beautiful views and walkways to go for a stroll. The beach is fairly safe and the water is calm enough for kids to enjoy.
Too many people walking dogs without leeches and vagrants roaming
If its blowing in the Strand you might fight a sheltered spot here. Very safe to swim here. Normally lots of parking. Just bring your own gazebo or umbrella.
A kids friendly, safe area. Clean with good safe parking. The Spur on the beach, we did not visit it this time, is an excellent idea. Good food... N hande-treetjie weg!
Excellent it is always refreshing seating by the beach. Gordons Bay beach is always calm and many people love it
Repairs can be done to the grass surfaces on the beach walkway. Enjoyed beautiful sunset!
On The Go, tastey quick breakfast with friends n great ocean views
I enjoyed the variety of restorants, uncle Roys ice-cream shop and great Seaview. Its either you can take a nice beach walk, a good swim in warm sea water, bring your beach tent or seat in your car and enjoy the sea view. Free safe parking with car guards. Convinient for family, couples or alone.
Was my first time their ever and loved it so so much and will come back anytime
A beautiful beach, lovely for children and adults. Can get a bit crowded, is very popular.
Beach is very clean and very safe for swimming
Great weather awesome family time
Not gng to even say much. All I can say is it warm water... Moooi
The beach is generally calmer than Strand but watch out for hidden rocks in the water,, and dont expect any decent waves. Think of it as a large swimming pool, particularly at low tide.
BEAUTIFUL CLEAN BEACHSPUR RIGHT ON BEACHLOVE THIS VILLAGE & A WOMAN THAT LIVES THERE. XXX
Was a bit windy, but the sun was out, kids loved playing and swimming.
Wow! What a huge range of well priced goods!
Nice to visit and lots of good stuff to eat
Nice place to take the fam, was just a bit windy that day
Stunning views and beach all season round
So beautiful. Love this place.
Very cold and wet, but unfortunately a blocked sewer on the beach road
We sat in the car and had something to eat while watching the waves. Its still lockdown level 3 and not many people around. We took a walk and after weeks been cooped up at home the kids loved it. The beach was clean but many vagrants around. We had a lovely afternoon though
Most beautiful home ever!!
I had such a hunger to be at the beach, Im able now as moved here, Friday 26th so I can have this joy everyday!!!!
Lovely place to just chill
Beautiful, clean
Always great. Nice food great staff at The Bean...
Everything about nature is great for me. I usually give 5 stars but this beachs water is way too salty. You cannot stay in it long. Your face starts to burn as as well your eyes. Other than that it is lovely to swim in besides the copious amounts of rocks. There is a lot of parking. Free parking. There is a Spur close by in case you get hungry. There is an outdoor gym nearby. Food to run on the beach for training. They have life guards. Can swim anywhere you want in the water no restrictions like other beaches...
Always a treat to go to to this beach.
Every beautiful place
Nice view very friendly people
Had lovely weather today so it was great. No wind either. Pleasant with the little shops and restaurants so close by
Wonderful place to swim. Indian Ocean
Just nice to stop over and look at the sea.
One of the nicest and safest beaches in the cape
Yoh its the best place to go
Beautiful scenic beach
Peaceful day in the sun
Great! Chilled..except the car gaurds thats a bit dodgy. Great to walk your dogs. 5Stars spot!
