Western Cape: All beaches in the George area set to reopen!

The George Municipality just announced that all beaches in the George area in the Western Cape, including Gwaing Beach, Victoria Bay, Herold’s Bay, Wilderness, and Leentjiesklip, will be open to the public again starting Friday, 22 September 2023. The beaches were closed due to the high spring tides that hit the coastal areas of George over the past weekend. According to the Municipality, heavy construction vehicles are still moving around the beaches and certain beach infrastructure such as benches and walkways have been removed. Due to the absence of lifeguards and debris in the water, swimming is currently not advisable.
