About
Surfer’s Corner is considered the birthplace of surfing in South Africa. Legend has it that a visiting Australian showed the locals how it was done around 1910. Before long, collisions with swimmers necessitated a separate area demarcated for surfers, and what was formerly known as Neptune’s Corner naturally became Surfer’s Corner. It is still the place to learn to surf, and there are a number of surf schools catering for both young ‘grommets’ and late starters. The sharkspotting initiative that started here in October 2004, has since been expanded to other beaches by the City of Cape Town.
