Llandudno beach, Cape Town, Western Cape province

Llandudno, a suburb of Cape Town, on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, is a strictly residential area, and one of the most expensive in South Africa.

There are no shops or commercial activity whatsoever. The area consists of luxury homes built on the foothills of the Twelve Apostle mountain range, overlooking Llandudno beach, one of the Cape's most beautiful beaches.

Llandudno beach is a popular surfing spot, but the swimming can be treacherous, with rough seas and extremely cold water. It is also the access point for the walk to Sandy Bay, an isolated beach once popular with nudists.
