Cape Town has a wide variety of beaches divided into three regions by the Cape Peninsula:
False Bay, including the long sandy beach running from Gordon's Bay to Muizenberg, and the smaller beaches along the East side of the Cape Peninsula
Atlantic Seaboard, along the West (Atlantic) side of the Cape Peninsula
West Coast, along the West coast running Northwards from Cape Town
The sea in False Bay is about 6 degrees warmer than the Atlantic Seaboard and the West Coast.
