Sandy Bay, Naturist beach in Cape Town, South Africa
Sandy Bay stretches along the Western Cape coastline, featuring white sand beaches and granite formations beneath the Twelve Apostles mountain range.
The beach emerged as an unofficial naturist location during the late 20th century, becoming a discreet destination for locals and international visitors.
South African naturist culture manifests at Sandy Bay through designated areas where visitors practice social nudity within established community guidelines.
Visitors can access the beach through two routes: a rocky path from Llandudno car park or a 20-minute walk from Hout Bay northern parking.
A freshwater stream flows down to the beach near the main area, while cape cobra snakes occasionally appear between rocks during summer months.
