Soetwater Beach

Soetwater Beach is a popular destination for get-togethers on summer weekends. Braai pits and picnic tables are available, and camping and caravan sites can be hired out by those wanting a longer stay. Much of the shoreline here is rocky, but there are a few sandy bays and two large artificial tidal pools that offer safe swimming. Dense kelp beds line the shore, so crayfish divers as well as hoop-net fishers operating from small dinghies can often be seen in the vicinity during the rock lobster season.

Please see the Recreation and Parks Tariffs Booklet in the document download section below for more information about booking a facility.
