Clifton lies on the Atlantic Seaboard and is known by film crews and fashion magazines around the world as `the perfect beach location'.

Enormous granite boulders divide the four sandy beaches that make up Clifton. This is the Cape's millionaire's row and the beach is the favorite spot for international models and film-stars, although the local folk love it too….!

Clifton Beach is made up of 4 coves and the beaches are called 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

When the summer south-easter blows, the Clifton beaches are usually well sheltered from the wind.

All of the beaches are accessible via stairs leading down from the road above. In summer, plan to get to the beach early as parking is very limited. Generally 4th is the busiest in summer with good changing room and bathroom facilities.

Kiosks on the beach sell snacks, cold drinks and ice-creams as do the many vendors that wander the beach.

Deck chairs and umbrellas are also available for daily rental. If you're on a budget and plan on spending alot of time on the beach - buy your own umbrella as this will save you in the long-run. Clifton 4th is a Blue Flag beach.
