Accommodation near Grotto Beach
Grotto beach is found in the town of Hermanus, in the Western Cape. Aesthetically it is one of the most impressive beaches in South Africa. This is thanks to its location between mountain and sea. The beach, which has Blue Flag status, is an hour and a half away from Cape Town.
Park your car in the large parking lot and take a walk along the beach. Stretching on for 18 kilometres, it makes the perfect location for a leisurely and very enjoyable exercise session. The beach is also dog-friendly, provided the dog stays on a leash and all waste is picked up by the owner. There is also a children’s playground for when the task of building sand castles becomes boring. As you can tell, Grotto Beach really is a family-friendly destination.
Since Grotto Beach is located in the 'Mecca' of whale watching, one can also enjoy this activity, granted you visit at the right time of year. The whales visit during the winter months, between June and October. The Southern Right Whales migrate to the cold coastal waters of South Africa annually to mate and calve and can consequently be seen with their young. They can easily be spotted from Grotto Beach itself, but the best views are to be had from the elevated points on top of the cliffs.
In order to maintain its Blue Flag status, a life guard is always on duty during the peak season (December to March) and the water is warm with great waves for activities like body boarding and swimming. Numerous educational and charity events also take place in the high season.

Hermanus has grown since we were here last. The town is impressively developed and demands that we visit again for at least two days, rather than just one day.
