IN PICTURES: Camps Bay Beach packed to capacity on Reconciliation Day
Camps Bay Beach in Cape Town, Western Cape, was a hive of activity on Tuesday as thousands of people descended on the iconic coastline to celebrate Reconciliation Day.
The sun shone brightly over the Atlantic Seaboard, with temperatures reaching a comfortable 26°C, drawing residents and tourists alike to the white sandy shores.
Nestled beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, Camps Bay’s natural beauty and sheltered bay make it one of the most popular beaches in the city.
Families set up umbrellas along the sand, children played in the gentle surf, and groups of friends lounged on towels while enjoying the panoramic views of Table Mountain and the surrounding peaks.
By midday, the beach was packed, with barely any space left between sun-seekers.
The combination of clear skies, calm waters, and the striking scenery made it an irresistible destination for those looking to spend the holiday outdoors.
The waves of the Atlantic Ocean drew swimmers, surfers, and bodyboarders into the water, while lifeguards monitored the crowded conditions to ensure safety.
As the afternoon sun began to dip, visitors continued to enjoy the sand and surf, making the most of a day that combined natural beauty with a national celebration of unity.
