Strand is nice, everything you need there- beach!! Ice cream, nice restaurants! Pharmacy, supermarket. Although strand is not the most upmarket place or fancy, because its quite old, you will find the places/ accommodation will be so much more affordable to stay in and have beach view! Cheaper than campsbay or bloubergstrand. So best in terms of pricing. Not that far from CPT (40min), 30 min to stellenbosch- so if you have a car it is a good location. If you dont, maybe stay a few days in cape town central and then a few days in strand.
Strand overall is beautiful and central. The beach wasn't as clean as I remember from previous visits, but there are people cleaning up regularly in the mornings. The construction was a bit of a disruption, but when the boardwalk is finished it is going to look amazing! I would definitely visit Strand again. It's laid back and have easy access to most vicinities around the area. Beautiful landscapes, malls, highways, etc. are all close by.
Water near 20 degrees Celsius makes swimming in the sea more acceptable compared to Atlantic Ocean side of Cape Town. A bit windy on beach on some days but excellent for kite surfing and learning (taking lessons) for Kite Surfing or Windsurfing/ Sailboarding. Good Keelboat sailing from Gordons Bay Yacht club (3km from Strand). Strand has good (small) surf 4 days out of 7. Very good surfing at nearby Kogel Bay and Betty's Bay nearby - especially when Southeaster blows in Summer Months. 20KM from Wine Route starting from Somerset/ Stellenbosch with several tastings and restaurants to visit.
The Beach was one of my favourite place and it's only less than 5 mins walk. If you do not mind having long walks ( like me ) it's a very nice place to just walk and explore the place, very safe and relaxing too. The Cheetar Out-reach is very near the property, strongly recommend , you can pet a cheater too.
The Somerset West Mall is disappointing. The sunset views are stunning. The beaches great and eating places very good. Parking stays a challenge everywhere when going to the beach or eating out nearby. Strand is central enough to visit Cape Town, wine lands and beaches. Driving around towards Rooiels is always a winner.
We always enjoy the beach and all the facilities, shopping ect. Strand is safe. We recommend Friedmann & Cohen for a great restaurant experience. The food is affordable and fresh and very friendly personnel. Our favorite spot was the beach and the CBD area. Getting around Strand is fairly easy.
