Noordhoek Beach, also known as Long Beach, is one of the most expansive and unspoiled stretches of coastline in Cape Town. Framed by the dramatic cliffs of Chapman's Peak Drive and backed by wide open dunes, the beach offers nearly eight kilometres of white sand and sweeping Atlantic Ocean views.
Popular with walkers, runners, photographers, and nature lovers, Noordhoek Beach is especially well known for its scenic horse riding experiences. Visitors can enjoy guided horseback rides along the shoreline, creating a unique way to explore the coastline with panoramic mountain and ocean backdrops. It’s one of the few beaches in Cape Town where riding on the sand is a regular and iconic activity.
With its wide-open space and peaceful atmosphere, Noordhoek Beach feels far removed from the city, making it ideal for long beach walks, sunset views, and quiet coastal escapes.
