Beach description

Humewood is one of the central beaches that stretch along the city, it continues the famous Kings Beach. The entire coast here is covered with clean sand, and the water in the ocean is clear. The beach was awarded the Blue Flag Award. This is a great place to relax, although swimming at Humewood Beach is not very comfortable, because there are almost always strong waves and pretty cold water.

The water area is more like a wild stretch of beach, there are no signs of civilization here. Everything that you may need for a vacation is worth taking with you. Rescuers are on duty at the beach. City shops and restaurants are located across from the beach. Humewood Beach is located in the city, so right next to it there are a variety of hotels, apartments for rent.

When is it better to go

The best time for a beach holiday and swimming on the coast of South Africa falls in the low season – from November to March.  The water temperature in the Indian Ocean rises to + 23-25 °C, in the Atlantic – to + 18-20 °C. The air temperature reaches + 30 °C, but the fresh ocean breeze makes you feel comfortable.
