Overview

Dunes is a beach spot between Noordhoek and Kommetjie on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula. The beach is lined with sand dunes and offers a wild, natural setting. The south-easterly Cape Doctor blows side-offshore, creating advanced wave conditions. Exposed to big Atlantic swells. Spot rarely visited by kiters.
