Beautiful pristine beach. No better place if the wind is not too strong.- Water temperature can be cold if there has been strong SE winds.- If the waves are big swim with caution, there are strong rip currents in middle of the beach.- great snorkelling on calmer days near rocks on either end.- dogs to kept on leash to preserve wildlife.- stay off the dunes that are in rehab.

……Our children visiting from Europe wanted to visit a beach on Boxing Day and although we knew most beaches will be full and our favourite beach is Strand we still obliged and packed the car with the necessary, beach-umbrella, chairs and through-about. When we arrived at Strand there was a traffic jam just trying to get to the beach-front so this was fruitless. So we decided to take the a drive on one of the worlds most scenic and spectacular marine drives around Gordons Bay to Betty’s Bay and about kilometres we saw the sign Pringle Bay so we turned in and just drove through and just as we were ready to turn around we happened on this gem of a find. There was a cut out with parking for about fifteen cars and there a space or two free so we turned in parked and was true-lii blown away with this. The Overstand Pringle Bay beach it looked more like a private beach. Nice stone-stepping pathway leading to the beach. There is a very well maintained Toilet Facility, very clean and even had toilet-paper available. One can immediate-lii come to the conclusion that the people around here real-lii care for the environment as one saw on the pathway there is a fish-line deposit point where anglers could trow away the old spent fishing gut and not leave it laying around on the beach. Th beach was empty with just a family enjoying the sunshine, an anglers or two with one kayaker. At least now we know where to find a quiet spot to relax away from the maddening crowds …….NB! On the way here is a neat niff-tii shopping centre where almost anything can be purchased!…..

Beautiful white sands, blue green sea and fabulous bay. A little gem to walk, swim or just lounge in the open air. Highly recommend spending time enjoying a little bit of Cape paradise.

Lovely beach with beautiful sand! Cute path the the beach and dunes to rest upon!

Trendy little town with amazing hikes, beaches and shops. Diving is also good.

A great beach to explore in Winter when theres no wind

Absolutely breath taking. The people are friendly ans the beach is spacious

Wow!! Beautifull♥️

Great place to visit all year around. Friendly community...

Most beautiful and remote place in the Western Cape!

I love thr fact that Pringle Bay is not commercialised.This place has stole my heart

Lovely beach to have a sunset walk

Only thing this beautiful beach needs is some toilets.

Beautiful scenery and not crowded most times.. Its quite a walk from the parking to the beachfront and baboons can be a nuisance

Best beach hands down.

White sand, uncrowded and great waves!!

Great little beach to walk along from the river to the rocks and small coastal paths. Takes about an hour there n back walking

Absolutely beautiful beach - really great place to watch a sunset. Feels safe and is not overly crowded.

Just beautiful.

Beautiful and ecologically interesting.

Best beach for surfing/body boarding. Much colder than the bay.

Amazing views, the water is nice and cold, the beach is stunning with its lovely pristine sand!

This is my favourite beach ever. It has a bit of everything to offer. About a kilometer of white sand perfect for an evening or early morning stroll. Beautiful sunsets. Rock pools which is perfect for toddlers to play in to the left of the main beach and a lagoon which is also lovely for babies and young children to the right of the main beach. Beware of ocean currents and only swim between the lifeguard beacons towards the left side of the beach. Surf enthusiasts brave the right side of the beach regularly.

Best beach in the Cape! When the wind isnt blowing....

One of Cape Towns gems, surrounded by mountains, this scenic destination is the perfect break-away to have a family picnic at the beach. Escape the crowd and enjoy a peaceful nature experience on an unspoilt beach. Weekends can also be booked online with a variety of accommodation options, walking distance from the beach.

Beautiful white sand stunning shells

Amazing

Could be windy but very nice beaches with white sandy dunes.

Best secured beach in the region!

Pls be careful of sea currents.

Excellent Clean and well cared for.

Stunning!!!

Beautiful place we must remember two ingredients that makes a person live. Its seeing green and coming home and leaving in peace. May the city look at natures way as the best physiotherapy. ...

Beautiful beach with firm sand and stunning views

A prestine natural beach, which require the cooperation of all users to support it from pollution!

Clean and relaxed atmosphere.The only crit - more visible bins. Only one at the launch pad entrance. Bins at each pathway to beach - on the beach side, so it is visible to all at the beach. This will also encourage people to pick up any rubbish they see on beach.

Best place on earth!

Pristine beach where the water is usually as cold as the water on the West Coast. Fine white sand and also the natural breeding place for the black oyster catcher (swart tobies). No shops line the beach. Dogs on leashes allowed. Lovely mountains and nature.

Perfect spot to drive into majestic atlantic

Best beach in Cape Town

A very beautiful beach to spend with family and friends. Very safe and child friendly. We enjoyed our time

Special little gem of a place.

Lovely litte town. We are having some mussels for supper tonight collected at low tide.

Lovely place

Stunning beach !

Beautiful quiet beach

The best beach. Enjoy swimming in the sea. Lifeguards on duty. Early morning and late night walks on the beach where you can meet the locals. Love this beach

The muncipal toilets are okay as public toilets go, but as you enter the beach the experience fades as pristine sand, blue water, rock pools and a kid friendly lagoon come into panoramic view.The waves are fun, minimal undertow and rip and even at peak visiting times there is space to swing a large tiger.So what is the secret of the beachs apparent exclusivity? Answer...Upwelling. As the South East wind blows the warm layer of water out to the middle of false bay, clear nutrient and oxygen rich water wells up to replace the surface water. It can be ankle chilling cold. A full length wetsuit will help make Pringle a pleasant experience.

I was there for a few days and surfed, hiked in the world heritage site around Pringle. Saw steenbok, 8 otter, Franklin and rooikat. Now Im gone look for a plot near the beach :)

Beautiful! Fishing and swimming is great. Tanning is also wonderful as the hills protect you from the wind.

Clean, conservation conscious.

Pringle is a special place, perfect for recharging the batteries. The beach (and pringle) can be windy but its always worth putting on a jacket and taking a walk to the lagoon and along the rocky coastline if youre feeling more adventurous.

Fantastic swimming beach. Not too crowded even on the busiest days of the year. The water is usually crystal clear and the waves generally small since the beach is parallel top the main swell. Summer water temperatures range from 16 to 23 degrees and the prevailing wind is offshore

Chilled walk on the beach

Beautiful beach, open sand & rock pools. Dolphins swam in close as we walked by.

So clean, neat and not very popular which makes it a great place for games and dogs-lots of space. Water can be really cold sometimes but what a beautiful beach to unwind

Clean and beautiful, developed but with a natural area of dunes and beach

Had the best time walking and enjoying the sun on a winters afternoon.

A magical place to walk your dogs. Especially at Sunset

Always beautiful and clean

Nice and quite beach

Surrounded by nature reserve and beautiful mountains the beach is an untouched jewel. The beach is long and ends is a lagoon safe for children to swim in.

Pristine beach. Warm water

Had a beautiful experience fishing on main beach , the locals are friendly.

Quite windy, but the beach itself is nice and clean. Lots of dog lovers which makes it awesome

Beautifully secluded beach with great views of the surrounding mountains and you have that feeling of being one with nature. Be careful of the strong rip current if swimming, it can be deceiving.

Magical place. Living this close to the ocean is such a blessing

Beautiful place for a breakaway. Nice beach and walls

The most beautiful place to live!

Stunning! Soft white sand, lovely waves, beautiful mountains and aweso beach visitors!

Absolutely beautifull. Fun in the sun. Soft white sand and great fishing

Beautiful place with friendly people.

Such a beautiful place. It isnt usually crowded like the other beaches close by.

So Relaxing

This is a quiet but excellent place to visit and to stay.

Unspoilt and beautiful coastline. A gorgeous drive

One of my favourite beaches. Has a lagoon for swimming during riptides and spring tide.

Lovely holiday spot. Lots of little shops and a market.

Nothing but good things to say about pringle bay, great for holidays and get aways

Wonderful beach. Over on the far right of the beach is a small inlet that is great for the kids.

Beaitiful!!

Beautiful beach. It can get windy here.

My favorite beach so far. Clean, quiet and BIG

Clean beach and dog-friendly, really nice.

Nice beach for most activities

Pristine beach in a beautiful setting.

Just love the calm atmosphere! And friendly visitors

Beautiful but a bit windy

Incredibly beautiful beach in an equally beautiful town

Awesome beach and natural beauty.

Great waves for body boarding...the surfers can get a bit close and become a threat.

Unbelievable little spot to visit. Story book experience

What a great beach to spend the day

Beautiful beach... Stunning scenery...

Beautiful sandy beach thats dog friendly

Good for all types of ocean activity

Best place ever

Lovely stay at pringle bay
