Danger Beach, Kalk Bay

A small stretch of coastline just beyond the St James tidal pools. Named as such for its choppy waves and rip currents.

About

A small stretch of coastline just beyond the St James tidal pools, known for its rocky shoreline, dramatic waves, and wild False Bay atmosphere. It’s not a classic sandy swimming beach - conditions can be rough, with strong swells and exposed rocks - but it’s beautiful in a raw, untamed way. Locals love it for coastal walks, watching the ocean on stormy days, photography, and that bracing sea air feeling you only get along this part of the coast.
