Water's Edge Beach, Beach in Simon's Town, South Africa.
Water's Edge Beach lies between Seaforth Beach and Boulders Beach, featuring a protected bay with numerous rock pools and natural boulders along the shoreline.
The beach contains remnants of ancient infrastructure, including a concealed sewerage pipe that resembles a historical cannon from South Africa's colonial period.
Local residents maintain the beach's status as a cherished community secret, encouraging visitors to limit their mentions of this location to preserve its character.
Access requires walking through a wooden gate south of Seaforth Beach, following a paved path parallel to the restaurant's shaded lawn area.
The beach contains multiple rock pools filled with orange starfish, salmon anemones, and mollusks, creating natural aquariums for exploration and discovery.
