Soetwater Beach
Soetwater Beach is just south of the Slangkop Lighthouse, along Beach Road, There isn’t a lot of beach as this stretch of the Kommetjie Coastline is rocky with only a few little sandy bays. The attraction is the two tidal pools,
Soetwater Beach is popular in the summer months when the weather is suitable for swimming or fishing. There are plenty of rock pools to explore. The two tidal pools provide safe swimming areas.
The first of the pools is Soetwater Tidal Pool which is known as “Infinity Pool” or Soetwater-1. It is part of the Soetwater Resort. Access is controlled by a small entrance fee and a capacity limitation. There are lawns and a few braai areas. Basic ablution facilities are available. This area is somewhat exposed and isn’t very pleasant on windy days.
The other Tidal Pool is ‘De Kom Tidal Pool‘ or Soetwater-2. It is located nearer the Soetwater Enviro Centre and access is FREE. Flocks of flamingoes are often seen at this pool, giving it the local nickname;’ bird island‘.Ample Parking
