Like so many of you and the Frenchman's photos, this is beautiful. I really hope the South African government realizes how enticing you make the country. You deserve a retainer and a cut of the tourist dollars you are surely generating.
Gorgeous, we will be in Cape Town for three weeks from 7th for my daughters wedding in Tulbagh, this glimpse is a lovely "one week to go" reminder, thank you.
Between this and Vince's photo of the Constantia flowers-wow! I can almost feel the warm beach sand on my bare feet via your photo, when really I am wearing Uggs and it is near freezing outside.
I have very fond memories of this beach, as it is the only one in Simonstown where you could get away from the wind. I spent every available minute there. This was well before the thought of UV factors and the penguins arrived. Talking of the latter - were where they when you took the pic
Very pretty. Where is Boulders Beach?

It is in Cape Town, on the Cape peninsula, False Bay side...

ReplyDeleteIs the water cold?
ReplyDeletePretty cold, although in that small bay slightly warmer.

ReplyDeleteYou're right - the southeaster was tearing through the peninsula and making our teeth shake, but right in the lee of the bay, absolutely still.
DeleteBluer! good god, how could that even be? lol
ReplyDeletegorgeous, would love to sit and get lost in the sound and sand.
