Get ready for a big change at Strand Beach! From December 15, 2025, to January 15, 2026, a part of the beach, between the municipal pool and Norman Road, will be closed. This is because workers will be building a huge wall to protect the coast from strong waves and rising sea levels for the next 30 years. So, while a piece of your favorite beach will be closed for a short time, it’s for a very important reason: to keep the beach safe and beautiful for many years to come!
Muizenberg Beach is like a big outdoor workshop right now, with cranes and building everywhere. But don’t worry, they’re making sure you can still get to the beach and have fun. They even stop building for a few weeks in December and January so everyone can enjoy the sand and waves. So, it’s a bit messy, but still a great place to play!
