The view from Clifton 4th beach
While I was out this week doing research for my article on the Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing event at Dungeons, I happened to make an appearance at Clifton 4th beach in Cape Town.
It is the middle of winter here and there had been some snow up in Johannesburg in the week, and then Cape Town presents us with this view. It’s one of the many reasons that I choose to stay in this city. I can’t think of a better place to be staying, with better views. I was driving to Hout Bay and was passing Clifton and Llandudno anyway, and so decided to pay them a visit. It was one of the best days on the beach as it was a cool day, no wind and it was not busy at all.
With views like these I find it difficult to understand why anyone would want to leave Cape Town. This is the reason why we are based in Cape Town, because it’s possible to lead this crazy lifestyle all year round, even in winter.
I will be covering the Red Bull event shortly, but we have had a bit of trouble trying to figure out what exactly “Dungeons” means and where it is and so we got a bit sidetracked in the week.
