Kammabaai Beach

Description

Kammabaai Beach, also known as “Lover's Cove”, is a firm family favourite in the sleepy town of Hermanus, Western Cape. It offers shallow water for safe swimming, the best waves for surfing, ample parking, and excellent facilities, including picnic and braai spots under the trees. It is quite popular during the holiday season, so it is best to arrive early. There are two sections to the beach, divided by a rocky outcrop filled with rock pools and interesting marine life. The size of the beach is largely affected by the tide, and at high tide, you’ll likely find very little of the beach left. The beach is favoured by surfers and body boarders, but beginners should be careful of the rocks and strong rip tides. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer season.
