In all my visits to Cape Town on the West Coast of South Africa, I've never been to Llandudno.
Well!...In June this year when we were there visiting my daughter in Melkbosstrand, I made it a priority to go on a little excursion to this beautiful seaside suburb of Cape Town, which lies on the Atlantic Seaboard of the Cape Peninsula.
It was about a two hour drive from where we were staying, and worth every minute of the trip.
I thought I might take you along on my journey and share this awesome part of my beautiful country with you.
Llandudno has one of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa and is popular amongst the surfing community, swimming can also be quite treacherous at times because of the rough seas and extremely cold waters.
Information signs were everywhere to be seen on our way along the path.
The view over looking the beach was very inviting, we chose to walk along the road leading to a paved pathway.
I was quite curious to see what lay beyond the light at the end of the pathway.
Who knows where it'll lead...come along, lets see where it will take us.
Wow!...what a sight...the indigenous succulent plants clinging to the granite rocks
with their bright white and green array reaching out to welcome us.
One of the famous sights, is the rocky caves in the area, like the one in the photo over looking the Atlantic Ocean.
The two rocks resting on the shore, look like faces basking in the sun.
The houses at the foot of the mountain in the distance over looking the sea, what a magnificent view they must have. (lucky buggers).
Me trying to get my best shot before my battery died, it was cold and windy that day unfortunately, but... that wasn't going to stop me.
What is that? a monster swimming by or a rock?
Omg...before my imagination runs amok Hehe!...it definitely isn't the Loch Ness monster... I think it's just a rock.
I was told, that one could watch dolphins and whales from the shore at certain times of the day. We unfortunately didn't see any that day.
Maybe next time, I'll make sure we come back in the summer time.
The pathway leading up to the caves was some what challenging for me, unlike hubby, he seemed to take it on like a pro...Omg...I think it was because my jeans were to tight Lol! or was it just due to being unfit...I think the latter.
The suburb of Llandunno has the most expensive properties in South Africa.
There are no shopping centers or commercial activities in the area. The nearest town is Hout Bay, a little fishing Village which is a 5 minute drive.
Llandudno is also an access point for a walk to Sandy Bay, an isolated beach which is still popular amongst Nudists.
We'll definitely come back in the summer...what do you think? Lol!
The art work on the walls and seats over looking the sea, are quite appealing.
Thank you for coming along with me on my little excursion to a beautiful place called Llandudno along the Peninsula of the Western Cape South Africa.
I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did.
Happy Travels
