Event information
Windmill Beach is tucked away behind the golf course at Froggy Pond. Like its neighbour, Boulders Beach, it is surrounded by giant granite outcrops which act as a windbreak. The white, sandy beach slopes gently into two gullies separated by a rocky point. Here the water is flat, calm and crystal clear, providing safe swimming and paddling for children in the shallows and good snorkeling in deeper water.
The beach is often used as a scuba diving training site, as it offers easy entry and exit points, good visibility, and minimal wave action. Sea-kayakers are also often seen paddling through the channel on their way to or from Simon’s Town.
Dogs are allowed.
