Rockpool 1208 is situated at a small stretch of rocky shore line between two long stretches of sandy beaches, Blouberg beach and Big Bay beach. During low tide Small Bay is like a big puddle, almost no waves and very safe for younger children to play in with a white sandy beach that stretches around it. Excellent for surfing and body boarding with right and left beach breaks. When the well known South Easter wind is blowing, the conditions are fantastic for wind surfing and kite surfing. Shower facilities are availably on the beach and life savers are around during summer time. During low tide you can walk through shallow water to the 'island', a rock formation that is only exposed during low tide. The waves get real hollow when the South Easter is blowing and is great for tube riding. It is the premier spot for hundreds of kite surfers during summer time. Many water sport competitions like jet-skiing, kite surfing, surfing, body boarding and rubber ducking take place through out the year along this stretch of white sandy beach with ample space for everyone. Have a scrumptious breakfast on the beach front with a view of Table Mountain. Make sure you are there around 09:00, because they are usually quite booked out. Fine dining with breathtaking views of the ocean and Table Mountain.
