a lovely family and walking beach - easy access to the harbour fish restaurants and fish brazo, and with the quirky fun Santos Express train hotel and restaurant

We stayed at the Santos Express Royal Suites so the beach was a stones throw away. The beach was clean and safe.

Can't blame the beach or the town but sadly a few days into my break the covid rules saw the beach closed. Beautiful sand, calm warm water and beautiful views

If looking for a nice beach day with child friendly waves then choose Santos. A great setting close to amenities and the cbd. Once done swimming or relaxing on the beach one can slip away for some ice cream or even better have a great lunch at the Santos Express train restaurant about 20m away.

The beach was very clean and tidy. A few unwanted guests begging all the time. I don't think it is save at night due to vagrants sleeping at the public restrooms.

This is a very protected beach where the waves are small. Highly recommended if you have small kids. Here you can spend a relaxed day on the beach & in the water. There is a pub & restaurant on either side of the beach for when you are thirsty or hungry.

Hi! We are a group of 5 and our flight will reach Cape Town on 28th Sept at 11:45 in the night. What is the safest and cheapest way to get to Santos Beach by morning? Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe that is better if you rent a car and drive. It is a long way drive from Cape Town.
You can rent a car for 10 usd a day.
