Clifton 1st Beach

Clifton First Beach, Cape Town, South Africa.

The first of Clifton's four beaches strung along Victoria Rd at Clifton. As with the other three, it's almost always sheltered from the wind and offers top sunbathing spots. Before hopping in the sea, remember that the water comes straight from the Antarctic, so swimming here is exhilarating (ie freezing).
