The world’s best beaches for 2025 have just been named and one of Cape Town’s very own has made the prestigious list.

According to The World’s 50 Best Beaches, this year’s list was a culmination of many days spent by judges, Beach Ambassadors and World’s 50 Beaches team exploring beaches all over the world.

These judges found Cape Town’s famous Boulders Beach special enough to be placed at a respectable 12th spot on the list, adding:

“Famous for its resident colony of African penguins, Boulders Beach near Cape Town offers a unique opportunity to observe these charming birds up close in their stunning natural habitat. The beach is set against a backdrop of large granite boulders that create sheltered coves with unusually warm waters, ideal for swimming. This setting makes it distinct from other Atlantic Ocean beaches in the area, which are typically cooler. The presence of the penguins, combined with the safe, warm swimming spots, draws both tourists and locals who are looking for a unique beach experience that combines wildlife observation with leisure activities.”
