Pringle Bay Beach — Beaches in Pringle Bay

Pringle Bay Beach is a long, curving beach of white sand with Cape Hangklip at one end and the Kogelberg mountains behind. It is wide and often uncrowded, even in the holidays, and the wind makes it popular for wind sports.

Lifeguards patrol parts of the beach in the summer months. The sea can be cool and exposed, so swimmers should stay near the lifeguards; the Buffels River lagoon at the end of the bay is a gentler option. In season, southern right whales come close to shore. Conditions change with the tides, wind and season: check locally before you go, and swim only where it is safe.
