About
Windmill Beach is tucked away behind the golf course at Froggy Pond. Like its neighbour, Boulders Beach, it is surrounded by giant granite outcrops which act as a windbreak. The white, sandy beach slopes gently into two gullies separated by a rocky point. Here, the water is flat, calm and crystal-clear, providing safe swimming and paddling for children in the shallows and good snorkelling in deeper water.

The beach is often used as a scuba diving training site, as it offers easy entry and exit points, good visibility, and minimal wave action. Novice divers are guided on a circumnavigation of the rocky point, departing from one gully and returning to shore via the other, while exploring the underwater life of the kelp forest. Sea kayakers are also often seen paddling through the channel on their way to or from Simon’s Town.
