Location & Surroundings

Nestled at the foot of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, between Macassar and Gordon’s Bay, and just a 40-minute drive from Cape Town, Strand is a vibrant town in its own right.

The Strand beachfront has undergone a modern transformation, with sleek Dubai-style apartment blocks joining the charming 1970s beachfront homes. Stretching 5 km, the beach boasts pristine white sand, calm waters ideal for swimming, and attracts water sports enthusiasts from far and wide. The promenade along the beach is lined with inviting coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants, while a dedicated entertainment area—featuring mini-golf, a water slide, a heated Olympic-size pool, and a tidal pool—offers fun for the whole family.

Originally established as a fishing village and holiday resort, Strand has retained its relaxed charm while becoming a central hub in the scenic Helderberg Basin. Visitors enjoy easy access to wine routes, Somerset West’s shopping mall, and the coastal drive past Gordon’s Bay to Betty’s Bay, perfect for whale watching during season.

Fishing remains a popular activity along the coastline between the Lourens River mouth and Rooi Els, with diving trips also available. For those wanting to explore further, Stellenbosch is only 25 km away, and Cape Town—with all its attractions—is an easy drive along the N2.
