Diaz Beach — Attraction in Western Cape

Dias Beach has been in my dreams for 20 years! I just never knew it was real. Indeed for two decades I had vivid dreams of the perfect beach, silky white sand, warm ocean water, beautiful rock formations and utter seclusion. I believed this place to be a figment of my imagination until I saw it from Cape Point last year. It turns out I had indeed been here two decades ago! And so this year I returned. And it was spectacular! Everything I could ever hope for. A perfect place. The walk down is enthralling, no rails and pretty steep steps… this entire experience was utterly enchanting!

Overall, Diaz Beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a relaxing and picturesque...

Please don't publicise this beach. It is heaven on earth and I could have sat on it for ever! The crashing waves, wonderful soft sand and great surroundings are to die for. Lots of steps down to it and more importantly back up, mean it's quiet. Very quiet. But then if it was easy to access everyone would go there and then it would be "just another beautiful South...
