Beach huts in Muizenberg, South Africa
Want to grab your board and ride a wave in Cape Town, South Africa? Head to Muizenberg, the suburb that has beckoned surfers since at least 1919. The colourful beach huts may hide the surf, but the surf itself hides something else: great white sharks. Before you take your water wings and run back to the safety of the huts, rest assured that there’s a shark-watch service in Muizenberg. Since 1960, there have been 30 shark attacks in the waters around the greater Cape Town area, or only one attack on average every other year. So feel free to splash around or hang ten. Just keep an ear out for the warning that a shark is nearby and you should be fine. Wait! Where are you going?
