Oudekraal - Atlantic Seaboard

Thanks to our Ltd Wild Card we have found another gorgeous spot which we visited with friends on the weekend. Oudekraal is between Llundudno and Camps Bay and is a calm boulder protected beach with excellently set out picnic/braai areas on the grassy banks overlooking the beach. Nathan enjoyed sand play while Skylar and Terryn (8 and 6 years old) had fun looking amongst the rocks, climbing up the boulders and playing in the shallow, calm water. For some reason (perhaps the tides?) the beach was scattered with glass pieces. Most of them had been smoothed by the sea, but some were sharp. We will be sending pictures to the SANP.

We will definitely be back again to try out the braai areas - maybe even throw a party in the enclosed entertainment area which can be hired for a few hundred rand.
