Description: Modern houses on coast above beautiful Sandy Bay, near Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
Sandy Bay is situated along the road between Cape Town to Cape Point and adjacent to Llandudno, Cape Town. Sandy Bay lies on one of the last remaining stretches of untouched natural coastline on the Cape coast. It is one of the Cape Peninsula's most inaccessible beaches. Sandy Bay is backed by steep dunes and bushy slopes, and there are rocky outcrops jutting into the sea. Above and surrounding the beach are high mountains, which protect the area from most wind directions. It is a quiet and tranquil setting, that allows one to escape the crowds one might find on other beaches. The area's unspoilt beauty has made it popular with hikers and conservationists. Sandy Bay is a well known for sightings of the Southern Right Whales, in season.
