The African shoreline boasts some of the most magnificent sandy beach
locations in the world. Stretches of golden and powdery white sand are
usually spotless and uncrowded. The African coast can however be a hazardous
for bathing because the undertows and rough sea are very deceptive at
times.
Many of the more popular beaches are patrolled during the busy season.
Swimmers need to stay within the bathing beacons which are controlled
by competent professional lifeguards.
African beaches have long been a popular attraction for tourism and recreation.
Especially popular are the tropical seaside resorts and large white sand
off the east coast of Africa. Of course our beaches are the place frequented
by the most beautiful and trendy. Sun bathers and tourists use our beaches
as a place for leisure and sport. The relatively soft formation of sand
is comfortable to sit or lie on, and entering and exiting the water is
far easier across a sand beach than a rocky shore.
Africa has an active beach culture, particularly that of the surfing
communities who seem to find endless time to explore their number one
passion. One of the many attractions of a sand beach, especially for children,
is playing with the sand, building sand castles and other constructs.
Please be aware that nudity is generally not accepted on African beaches.
Going topless is acceptable to a degree. Some Muslim cultures strictly
discourage nudity and it is advised that you exercise the necessary respect.
