The penguin colony has made this beach famous more than its sandy stretches. The website further said, ‘A whole colony of as many as 3000 African penguins nest on the beach. The best time to see them is during the summertime. The cool, clear False Bay water and rock pools are an added bonus.’
Other African beaches listed were Tanzania’s Kanga Beach in Mafia Island, Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, and Zanzibar’s Kenwa Beach, which came in fourth.
