Cape Town's spectacular rugged coastline is peppered with great beaches, but they can get very busy. Here is a rundown of hidden beaches locals flock to avoid the crowds.

Glen Beach

Glen Beach is CapeTown's hidden beach that is put away behind sand dunes and granite stones. It is a place where local surfers guard its wedgy right and, take their dogs to dash Frisbees and socialize. Small lovely bungalows surround the area, and the grand Twelve Apostles Mountains are its impending backdrop. Vendors sell refreshments by singing decades-old jingles.

You can go on a 10-minute walk over the sand dune to Camps Bay and its ready-made meal, diners, and bars. To get here, take the MyCiti bus, or drive the snaky road down from Kloof Nek, through The Glen, in the direction of Camps Bay. Glen Beach is gravely labeled, but you will get to see parking spaces on the side of Victoria Road, in advance to turning left to Camps Bay or right to Clifton.

Queens Beach

Pulled off the famous promenade of Sea Point is the lovely but elapsed Queens Beach. It is a five-minute stroll away from Sea Point with its discreet, wind-free beach. It is another Cape Town's hidden beach. Hotels and apartment blocks overlook the place but amazingly, it is overlooked by most beachgoers as well, says, Traveling Luck. The place gets nearly overcrowded on New Year's Day when all the beaches in South Africa are bursting at the gills. Queens Beach prides what the locals call a big and mushy opportunity for surfers.

Moreover, it has white sand to lounge on, starfish in rock puddles, and exciting shells and rocks for children to scramble over. You can take the MyCiti bus and stop at the Queens Beach. You can also or drive, cycle or walk laterally to the Sea Point Promenade.

Beta Beach

Beta beach is actually a sequence of scenic, petite beaches and coves of white sand and azure water, beneath small, frill bungalows. The place, another cape Town's hidden beach, has an impeccable view of Camps Bay and Lion's Head and offers concord, fantastic sunsets and safe, frosty swimming. To get there, The Guardian recommends trailing Victoria Road through Camps Bay. You can turn right onto Beta Road, and then follow the footpath through the bungalows to the beach.
