About

Located along the stunning Atlantic coastline in Cape Town, Glen Beach is renowned for its rippable beach-break waves that provide both fun surf sessions for beginners and engaging challenges for more experienced surfers. The sandy bottom facilitates right and left-hand waves, typically starting to work with swells of less than 1 meter and holding solidly up to 2 meters or more. With its breathtaking views framed by the iconic Twelve Apostles mountain range, Glen Beach not only offers an exhilarating surf experience but also serves as a picturesque spot to unwind and soak in the vibrant local culture of Camps Bay.
