Four of South Africa’s most beloved beaches have been recognised among the world’s best in the newly launched Corona Beach 100. It’s a first-of-its-kind global guide celebrating the most breathtaking coastal destinations on earth.
Corona’s Global “Sun-Rated” Guide Celebrates South African Beaches
The guide’s ‘Sun Rating’ system is inspired by the Michelin-style guide but rooted in natural wonder. The ratings were determined by an international panel of oceanographers, surfers, free divers, and environmentalists. One was for beaches worth the trip, two were for those worth the journey, and three were for destinations considered life-changing.
South Africa’s Best Beaches
In South Africa, Kraalbaai in Langebaan was awarded the top-tier three-sun rating, celebrated for its untouched beauty and tranquil lagoon waters.
Boulders Beach, home to the country’s famous penguin colony, earned a two-sun rating for its unique wildlife and serenity.
Meanwhile, the idyllic Nature’s Valley, Plettenberg Bay and the iconic Camps Bay, Cape Town, each received one sun. This makes them must-visit spots for both South Africans and global travellers in search of unforgettable seaside moments seeking unforgettable seaside moments.
