A beach with attitude and history.
The story of a shipwreck, the Kakapo, May 1900, en route to New Zealand, the captain took a sharp left thinking he was already around Cape Point! An interesting landmark along Long Beach, an iconic beach walk, I have yet to find a better one anywhere on my travels.
Glorious flat firm white sand at low tide, Kommetjie Lighthouse coming into view as one walks, the sweep of the shallow bay and the mountains rising straight from the sea on the Hout Bay side of the walk.
The sunday morning craziness at the Noordhoek Farm Village did not detract from a memorable breakfast of salmon, goat's cheese, perfectly poached soft eggs at the Foodbarn Restaurant.

Perfect conditions, light breeze.
Felt good, even though I had a restless night with achy legs.
