The granite-lined coast at Fisherman's Beach, on the False Bay side of the Cape Peninsula. For a coastal stop, leave time for the shore itself rather than treating every beach as a quick photo stop between Cape Point and the city. The exposed rocks and water in an archive picture do not establish the tide or swimming conditions for your visit.

An original coastal photograph shared by Garth for our guesthouse photo collection. I am part of the Aqua Terra team in Simon's Town. The exact beach and date are unconfirmed, so this is a landscape photograph rather than a report of today's conditions. I like the contrast between the pale shore and the darker cloud ceiling.
