Kommetjie Beaches

TIME : 2016/2/17 10:29:55

A top surfing location, Kommetjie offers an assortment of reefs that hold a very big swell. Outer Kommetjie is a left point out from Slangkop Lighthouse, at the southern end of the village. Inner Kommetjie is a more protected, smaller left, with lots of kelp (only at high tide). They both work best with a southeasterly or southwesterly wind. For breezy beach walks, it doesn’t get much better than the aptly named Long Beach, accessed off Benning Dr.
