Travel Guide to Dias Beach

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from Cape Town, take the M3 highway towards Muizenberg. Continue on the M3 until it merges into the M4, following signs for the Cape Peninsula. Once you reach the intersection with the M65, turn left onto the M65 and continue toward the Cape of Good Hope. Follow the scenic route through the Cape Point Nature Reserve. There is an entrance fee of approximately R152 per adult (prices may vary). After passing through the entrance, keep following the signs towards Cape Point. Continue past the Cape Point lighthouse and look for the parking area for Dias Beach. It is about a 10-minute walk from the parking area to the beach itself.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Dias Beach using public transport, take the MyCiTi bus service from Cape Town to Hout Bay. From Hout Bay, transfer to the bus heading towards Cape Point. Once you arrive at the Cape Point Nature Reserve entrance, pay the entrance fee of about R152 per adult. After entering, you can either walk or wait for the park shuttle (if available) to take you closer to the Dias Beach area. The beach is still about a 10-minute walk from the shuttle drop-off point.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider using a taxi or rideshare service (like Uber) from your location in Cape Peninsula. Simply enter 'Dias Beach, Cape of Good Hope' as your destination. The cost will vary depending on your starting point, but expect to pay between R300 to R600 for a one-way trip from central areas in Cape Town. Ensure your driver is familiar with the route to the Cape of Good Hope.
