Lonely Planet review for Kommetjie Beaches

A focal point for surfing on the Cape, Kommetjie offers an assortment of reefs that hold a very big swell. Outer Kommetjie is a left point out from Slangkop Lighthouse at the southern end of the village. Inner Kommetjie is a more-protected, smaller left with lots of kelp (only at high tide). They both work best with a southeasterly or southwesterly wind. For breezy beach walks, it doesn't get much better than the aptly named Long Beach, accessed off Benning Dr.

    Horse Riding near here is AMAZING

    hazell21 recommends this,

    Everytime I come to SA I have to do the horseriding here. For beginners or experts, they have about 20 horses. You start in the countryside, and then go along the beach. Go at sunset, it's so beautiful. There is a nature reserve and loads of birds along here. There is also part of a shipwreck, and the instructors also tell you all the stories of the beach.

    This should be higher up on the list!!!
