Overview

Silverstroomstrand is a West Coast beach between Cape Town and Langebaan, about 50km north of the city. The long sandy beach is popular for camping and braais (South African barbecues). The kite spot offers reliable wind conditions with the Cape Doctor SE. The beach faces west, making SE side-offshore, but in strong wind conditions remain good.
