St James Beach — Attraction in Cape Town Ward 64

Great beach for a quick swim and relaxing. Im an energy healing and auricular accupuncture therapist and often need to do some grounding. The water is warmer than other beaches and had a great grounding session with a few friends and clients. The energy level at St James is great. One feels rejuvenated after just being in the waters and relaxing and watching the waves. There is also ample parking along the main road and a slope just down to the beach. The train station is close by as well as quaint little shops for a lovely mini shopping spree including some restaurants for a quick bite to eat along the road. The beach itself is great for family outings, many schools go out and have the surfwalks or fun walks here and great for exploring the boulders along the beach when looking for mussels and other sea creatures who have created a home for themselves on the rocks. The tidal pool is great too and not deep for those wanting to take a dip. Further along there is lawn and some benches to sit and relax on to...

Shhh don't tell anyone; this is a great quiet beach for parents with small kids.

No surfers or other water sports to contend with. A little removed from any shops or restaurants. Usually nearby parking on the same side of the road. Trains come by occasionally which young kids love. Colourful murals are a handy distraction if your toddler chases down someone else's bucket or ball.

Comes with its own set of iconic colourful huts, lifeguards and sheltered man made tidal pool. The shallow water is often warmer than elsewhere. It's also nice and sheltered from the summer winds.

I honestly don't know why I'm writing this review and telling more people...
