Silversands beach

Edit spot

About

Best in small to moderate summer swell, no wind, clean. (2-5 foot) Dont try going from rooiels to bettys or viceversa along this road, unless you gotta 4x4 and even then its tough.

Atmosphere:
Come check it out. Its quite a walk but good. Best place is the smallest of the two beaches, passed the rocks on the right side towards rooi-els. Really gotta watch out for currents and sharks though, very exposed.

Additional Info:
Most people pass this stretch of beach and go to Koeelbay or Betty's and not even know its there. It doesnt always get as good as the others, much more exposed beachbreak but does get good, depending on conditions. On good days its a good hollow ride, usually shortish but powerful and never anyone else out.
